Barrow agrees new Swansea contract

Swansea City winger Modou Barrow has agreed a new three-year contract with the Premier League club.

The 23-year-old joined the Welsh side in August 2014 and, having had loan spells with Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers, established himself in the first-team squad last season by making 22 Premier league appearances.

"I'm delighted to have signed a new contract," Barrow told Swansea's official website. 

"Now I have signed a longer contract, I really want to push on here. There is a real sense of excitement for the new season. 

"On a personal level, I want to get the fans on their feet. That’s what I want to do when I'm on the ball. I'm happy to get their support when I'm playing and I want to get them on their feet a lot more."

Barrow's only league goal of last season – against AFC Bournemouth in March – made him the first Gambian player to score in the English top flight. 

Swansea finished the campaign in 12th place under Francesco Guidolin.
