Sam Parker | I am so excited for my future at this club
Sam Parker is excited by what the future could hold for him at Swansea City after signing a new four-year deal at the club.
The wide player, who can play as a full-back, wing-back or winger, has signed terms through to the end of June 2028.
The Wales youth international had previously signed his first pro contract with the club in July 2023.
Parker has been with the Swans from under-nine level, and has since progressed through the ranks to senior level, making his senior debut at the age of 17 against Coventry City last December.
And the highly-rated youngster is thrilled to have committed to the Swans.
"It feels amazing to secure my future at this club, especially because I've been here since I was very young," said Parker.
"I want to thank everyone who I've worked with throughout my time here, who have helped me get to where I am now.
"I especially want to thank my family, who have sacrificed a lot to take me to training throughout the years."
Following that debut at Coventry, Parker went on to feature against Morecambe and Birmingham City before a hamstring injury ended his 2023-24 campaign early.
Parker made a full return in pre-season in the Swans' friendly with Bristol Rovers, but picked up a knock during the pre-season camp in Austria.
But he is nearing a return to full fitness for Luke Williams' side.
"Last season was incredible, and everything came as a complete surprise to me," he added Parker.
"Signing my pro deal and making my debut was a dream come true, and I enjoyed every second of playing out there on the pitch.
"Getting handed my first start at Coventry was a shock, but I learnt a lot, especially playing with senior players and learning from the coaches.
"Being injured has been hard, hamstring injuries put you out for a long time and it was such a setback because I had just broken through to the first team.
"But I had to accept it, and work through it. I feel much better now, physically and mentally, and I can't wait to get going again."
