Swansea City legend retires: Leon Britton to hang up his boots at end of the season

Swansea City midfielder Leon Britton will end his playing career after Sunday's final Premier League game against Stoke.

The 35-year-old is a legend at the Welsh club - he was part of the team that won promotion from League Two all the way to the Premier League.

He racked up 536 appearances over 16 years in South Wales, after joining the Jacks in 2002.

Britton, who had a brief spell with Sheffield United, has been part of the coaching staff and was appointed caretaker boss for two matches following the departure of Paul Clement earlier this season.
