Julian Winter has stated Jamie Paterson never refused to play nor did he ever ask to leave Swansea City during his contract dispute with the club's owners.
The attacker missed all five of his side's Championship fixtures in January after stating he was not in the right frame of mind to take to the field.
It comes after the club triggered a one-year extension option in the 30-year-old's contract - with the player himself left disappointed that the terms of his initial deal were not improved.
