Leon Britton quits Swansea City role with immediate effect

Leon Britton has left Swansea City, quitting his role as an academy player mentor with immediate effect.

The Swans legend had held the job since October last year after returning to the club following his departure as sporting director in June, 2020. Britton, 39, made more than 500 appearances across 16 years as a Swansea player.

The news comes amid an ongoing reshuffle at the Swans, with a new academy boss set to be appointed after Kristian O'Leary left his role as under-23 boss to join Russell Martin's first-team staff.
