Lee Trundle awarded Honorary Masters Degree from Swansea University

Swansea City legend and club ambassador Lee Trundle has been awarded an Honorary Masters degree from Swansea University, honouring his enduring legacy and significant influence on both the city and its community.

Trundle who netted 78 goals in 146 appearances for the Swans has made a huge impact both on and off the pitch in South Wales after becoming club ambassador in 2013. 

His sincerity and enthusiasm, particularly in working with the community, has a positive effect on the projects being delivered across the city and beyond. 

"It’s an honour to receive this award. When I first moved to Swansea, it was just for football, that’s all I had on my mind and it was the first time I’d lived away from home," expressed Trundle. 

"I didn’t know how I would be away from home but within three months I’d signed a two-year extension. That was not just down to the football club, that was down to the people in the area as well. 

"I’d get out into the city as a player where we would go to different events and I would find myself going to a lot of these events, meeting people and not only was I falling in love with the football club but I was falling in love with the city and how the people were treating me as well. 

"It was an honour to play for the football club but then to go out into the community and meet all different people, I find that a massive honour."
