Garry Monk heads a list of seven Swansea players to be offered new deals as Roberto Martinez prepares his squad for life in the Championship.Monk is one of four experienced players to be offered a one-year extension, while Wales international Owain Tudur-Jones, vice-captain Alan Tate and Wales Under-21 midfielder Shaun MacDonald have all agreed new long-term deals.

Monk, along with Dennis Lawrence, Kevin Austin and Kristian O'Leary, has played enough games this season to trigger a clause in his existing contract to secure a new deal.

Martinez was particularly happy for Tudur-Jones and, with his troublesome knee injury finally healed, the Swans boss expects the 23-year-old to shine next season.

"It was great to see Owain finish the season on such a positive note. It was pleasing for everyone to see him enjoying his football and challenging for a place again after what has been a very difficult time with such a long-term injury," said Martinez.

"He has come through a more mature person and I am convinced it will help him to become a better, stronger player and character on the pitch. We are all delighted he has committed his future to Swansea and I am sure he has a very successful club and country career ahead of him."
