Wayne Routledge counts Cardiff City among his former clubsWayne Routledge will play for Swansea City after all in 2019-20 after signing a new deal on reduced wages. Routledge waived a clause that would have triggered a contract renewal last season with talks put on hold until the end of the campaign. Chairman Trevor Birch says Routledge could also have a role at the club after his playing days. Birch praised Routledge, saying: "He's an incredibly bright young man who really has a great future and will be a great asset to us next year with the younger players and his influence in the dressing room. "He has a great future ahead of him and a bigger role than just being a senior player at the club, I rate him that highly."
