Fulton 'deserved' his moment at Plymouth - Williams

Not for the first time in his long Swansea City career, Jay Fulton has had to be patient this season having been used sparingly by Luke Williams.

Fulton, who will celebrate a decade at Swansea next month, made his 12th appearance of 2024-25 – but just his fourth league start – in Tuesday's win at Plymouth Argyle.

The 30-year-old midfielder played a key part in the 2-1 victory by scoring his first goal in 13 months to put Swansea ahead.

Williams was pleased to see Fulton, who has made 264 senior Swansea appearances, seize his chance to shine.

"It's been really tough for Jay," head coach Williams said.

"He's such a good player, but we have some competition in there. The captain (Matt Grimes) is incredible of course, Goncalo [Franco] has done really well and we have Joey Allen as well. We have so many good players in this position.

"We know the quality Jay has. Everyone in the group respects him and he has shown that he can come in – relatively – from the cold, because he has only started four games in the league, and make a really good performance and key contribution.

"I am really happy for him. He deserves that."
