Swansea City Chairman Huw Jenkins Steps Down After Disastrous Defeat to Bristol City

Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins has resigned after their 2-0 Championship defeat to Bristol City.

The Welshman was appointed as chairman of the club in 2002 and had a huge task on his hands. He oversaw a huge reversal in fortunes as Swansea barely survived dropping out of the Football League in 2003, before they began climbing the ranks of English football, reaching the heights of the Premier League in 2011.

They remained in England's top flight for seven years and even managed to win the League Cup in 2013 in what has been the most successful period in the club's history.
