Swansea confirm the return of Joe Allen on a two-year deal following his exit from Stoke last month... with the midfielder back in south Wales 10 YEARS after leaving to join Liverpool

Swansea have confirmed the return of Joe Allen after the midfielder left fellow Championship side Stoke at the end of last month.

Allen, 32, heads back to his boyhood club on a two-year deal having previously made 150 senior appearances for the Swans after coming through the academy to make his debut aged 17.

After helping them win promotion to the Premier League in 2011, he left south Wales to join Liverpool a year later - following manager Brendan Rodgers from the Liberty Stadium to Anfield - before moving to Stoke, where he became captain.
