"I now have the next four years to look forward to and it is time for me to push on.

"I'll definitely not be getting carried away. It's been a long journey to get to this position and I know I still have a long way to go.

"I am not taking anything for granted - the hard work starts now for me."

After loan spells at Yeovil Town and Crewe, Kingsley made his Swansea debut as a substitute in the FA Cup defeat at Oxford back in January.

"The last six months have been a whirlwind," added Kingsley, who joins fellow Scot Adam King, external in signing a new deal at the Liberty Stadium.

"Everything has happened so quickly. But this is just the start for me. I am just looking forward to getting into the new season and trying to push on."
