Gower relishing Swans chance

30 Jun 2008 - 09:30:08

Swansea City's recent signing Mark Gower is convinced he has made the right decision after ending his five-year association with Southend United.

The 29-year-old midfielder has penned a two-year contract with the Swans after rejecting a new Roots Hall deal and had also been wanted by Blackpool and Nottingham Forest.

Gower told the club's official website: "I've got affection for Southend after five years, but I felt the time was right to try to push on in my career.

"Coming to Swansea and playing in the Championship gives me that opportunity and it's one I'm hoping to grasp.

"I had one year at this level with Southend and, on a personal note, I thought it went pretty well. Having another chance in the Championship is a big thing for me."
