Josh Tymon | We should feel optimistic about the future
Josh Tymon says Swansea City can head into the summer full of optimism following their strong end to the 2024-25 campaign.
Tymon continued his fine personal form with a hat-trick of assists in Saturday’s 3-3 draw against Oxford United on the final day of the season.
While disappointed to have conceded a late equaliser against the U’s, the Swans still ended up taking 17 points from the last eight games of the season under now head coach Alan Sheehan.
“I think there is a lot to be positive about, 100 per cent,” said Tymon, who took his tally of assists to seven, putting him joint-top for the Swans for the season alongside Ronald.
“If no-one has looked at the run we have been on and is not excited for next season, then I am not sure what else could get you up for it.
“I think the fans can feel it, to be fair they have been incredible with us over these few months.
“This period with Sheez in charge has given everyone a lift, and I think there should be real optimism heading into the summer, and hopefully we can start next season well.”
Saturday’s game also saw the Swans say farewell to Joe Allen and Kyle Naughton after a combined 560 appearances in club colours.
Allen captained the side in his final outing, and was replaced by Naughton in the 70th minute, with the pair getting a tremendous standing ovation from all corners of the Swansea.com Stadium.
“I have come across Joey over a number of years, he was at Stoke with me,” said Tymon.
“I know the kind of character he is, and what a wonderful person he is.
“To come into the changing room here when I first signed, and seeing those two in their corner of one side of the room at Fairwood, it will be surreal for them not to be there.
“Their names speak for themselves, when you hear them you know they are two incredible people, two unbelievable footballers and a massive credit to them for what they’ve done for this football club.”
