Jay Fulton | This club feels like home
Club stalwart Jay Fulton says the club and city feel like home as the midfielder extends his stay in south Wales for a further two years.
The Scot is set to remain in the club’s colours for the next two seasons after putting pen to paper on a new contract through to June 2028.
The deal will bring Jay's tenure in SA1 to 14 years, joining from Falkirk in January 2014, he has already completed a dozen years of service to the Swans and is the longest-serving player in the first-team squad.
"I'm really happy to get it done. I spoke to Tom [Gorringe] and the gaffer, and they were really eager for me to get it done," said Fulton.
"For me, the club's in a good place, the gaffer has come in and he's kicked on really well.
"Personally for me, it's been twelve years already and I'm still enjoying it."
After making his move from Scotland, Fulton made his first appearance as a substitute in the 4-1 win over Aston Villa back in April 2014
In total, he has made 313 appearances and been a popular and trusted member of the squad under a succession of managers.
"I don't think anyone in this professions expects to be at a club this long, and that probably makes it even more special for me.
"All my memories are with this club, and it's a huge achievement to play that amount of games.
"My wife and I moved down when I was 19, two of my boys were born in Swansea. The majority of my life, and whole kids' lives have been here.
"It's home away from home."
On his arrival in 2014, Jay initially linked up with the club's then Under-23's squad, and worked his way up to the senior team, and he is now one of the group's most seasoned professionals.
And he is eager to take up that responsibility on and off the pitch.
"It's probably more now than it ever has been, with new characters and players coming from different countries," Fulton added.
"It's enjoyable, you get to meet new people and being here this long, hopefully I can help people settle easier."
Summer signing Melker Widell described Fulton as mature figure in the dressing room and hails Jay's presence key to him settling in since arriving in July 2025.
"Since the day I arrived, it was clear that he had been here for a long time. He represents the club in a very good way, that's clear for everybody in the dressing room," said Widell.
"He has such high standards and if you follow him as a player and as a person, with his values, you can learn a lot. For me, he's been super helpful."
Jay caught the eye under new head coach Vitor Matos, and has been a regular under the gaffer since his arrival from Maritimo in November.
And the belief Matos has shown in the Scotsman has paid off as he netted a stunning winner against West Bromwich Albion on New Years Day.
It was his first goal for 13 months, and his first at the Swansea.com Stadium since October 2022, and Fulton praised Matos for renewing his confidence on and off the pitch following a tough start to the campaign.
"He's been massive for me personally. The start of the season was frustrating for me, and he's come in and put confidence and belief in me," he added.
"You can see that from the results and performances, that we're all enjoying it.
"The West Brom was a good moment for me. It's not my main focus scoring goals but when anybody can score a goal to help the team it's important."
