Swansea extend contracts of Key and Tymon

Josh Key and Josh Tymon have both proved shrewd acquisitions since signing for Swansea in 2023

Swansea City have triggered extension clauses in the contracts of Josh Tymon and Josh Key, meaning the two full-backs are tied to the Championship club until 2027.

Left-back Tymon, 26, was one of Swansea's most influential players last season while Key, 25, has been a consistent performer on the opposite side of the Championship club's back four.

Tymon and Key both joined Swansea in the summer of 2023 on three-year deals, meaning they had been due to become free agents at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

But the club have taken up their option to extend both deals by 12 months - and director of football Richard Montague says they want Tymon and Key to sign longer-term contracts.

"They both have an option year in their contracts and we have exercised the option, so they both have two years left with us at the very least," Montague told a fans' forum at the Swansea.com Stadium on Wednesday.

"We will be having conversations with those guys and their representatives in the coming months because obviously we don't want to be in that situation where those contracts are winding down."

Tymon has made 91 appearances, scoring twice, since joining Swansea from Stoke for about £2m.

Key has scored three times in 79 appearances having arrived from Exeter City, with Swansea paying an undisclosed compensation fee for his services which was decided by tribunal.

Tymon and Key are currently the first-choice options on either side of Swansea's defence, with academy product Sam Parker providing back-up on the right and no obvious alternative on the left with less than three weeks remaining in the summer transfer window.

Montague was also asked about the future of homegrown winger Cameron Congreve, who is back at Swansea this season having impressed on loan at League Two Bromley last term.

Congreve, 21, sees his contract expire at the end of this campaign.

"We have had conversations with Cam's agent and Cam himself about his future," Montague said.

"That's an active source of discussion at the moment."
