Scotland Under-21 midfielder Adam King has signed a new contract which will keep him at Swansea City until the summer of 2019.

The 20-year-old former Hearts midfielder, whose contract had been due to expire at the end of the 2016-17 campaign, impressed in the club's development squad last season.

"I am delighted the club have shown faith in me again by offering me another deal," King said.

"It's a big thing for me. To kick on again in the next few years is going to be difficult, but I believe I can do it. 

"Last season was a good one for me. I was out on loan and then after coming back I had a bit of experience training with the first team and getting to work with the new manager.

"Hopefully I can spend some more time with the first team next season and I'll see where that takes me."

Swansea have completed the signing of Leroy Fer from Queens Park Rangers on a three-year deal.

King came to the Liberty Stadium as an 18-year-old in January 2014, having played three senior games for Hearts.

He has made just one first-team appearance to date for Swansea, in the FA Cup victory at Tranmere in January 2015, but as well as playing for the club's development squad, he thrived during a loan spell at Crewe Alexandra, scoring five goals in 26 appearances.   

"It has been absolutely brilliant from the minute I walked through the door, at the football club and the city in general," King added.

"It's the perfect place for me and my style of play. I feel I have improved as a player and as a person as well."
