Swansea City’s Luke Williams backs Liam Cullen for new contract after extension trigger

Swansea City striker Liam Cullen has been given a vote of confidence by manager Luke Williams after the club triggered a one-year extension to his current contract, keeping him at the club until 2025.

Cullen, 25, was set to become a free agent this summer, but Swansea’s decision to extend his deal gives him the opportunity to prove his worth and earn a longer-term contract.

Williams praised Cullen’s commitment, work rate, and intelligence on the pitch, highlighting his value to the squad. The manager believes that Cullen has the ability to improve his goal-scoring record next season and become an even more valuable asset to the team.

Despite not reaching an agreement on a longer deal, Williams is confident that Cullen’s dedication to the club and his quality as a player will lead to a successful season and a better contract in the future.

Cullen, who has scored seven goals in 47 appearances this season, has been a product of the Swansea academy since he was eight years old. Williams emphasized Cullen’s understanding of the team’s tactics and his love for the club, indicating that he is a key member of the squad.

With the one-year extension in place, Cullen now has the platform to showcase his talents and secure his future at Swansea City. Fans will be eager to see him continue to impress on the pitch and potentially earn a new long-term contract with the club.
