Swansea City's home ground has been renamed Swansea.com Stadium in a 10-year deal.

The club's chief executive Julian Winter expressed his "delight" at the naming rights deal.

"I am proud of the work we have done as a club when it comes to focusing on our local area and community," he said.

"This football club prides itself on its place at the heart of the community it represents, and adding to our portfolio of local business sponsors and partners is another indicator of our commitment to our city.

"We welcome Swansea.com as our new naming rights partner, and we look forward to a successful period - on and off the pitch - over the next 10 years."

In a statement, external Ospreys chief executive Nick Garcia and Swansea Council leader Rob Stewart also welcomed the development.
