Russell Martin lauded Harry Darling's return to the side in Swansea City's win over Sunderland after admitting the defender has taken time to adapt to his new surroundings.
The centre-back joined the Swans from Martin's former club MK Dons for a fee of £1.4m in the summer transfer window and started each of his side's first five league games of the campaign.
However, he fell behind the likes of Nathan Wood and Ben Cabango in the pecking order, starting just one of the Swans' seven matches prior to the 2-1 success against Sunderland. He operated at the heart of a back three and scored the home side's second goal as Martin's troops recorded a fourth successive league victory in beating Tony Mowbray's men.
