Leon Britton has revealed he considered retirement before helping Swansea stay in the Premier League last season.
Club captain Britton's future looked bleak when Paul Clement overlooked the 34-year-old veteran during the first few months of his tenure.
But Britton got his chance with Swansea in dire relegation straits and the midfielder played a huge role, with 13 points from the last five games keeping the Welsh club in the top flight.
Britton subsequently signed a new one-year contract in June with the option of another 12 months, but admits he felt his time at Swansea was close to an end after playing over 520 games.
