Swansea have handed promising teenage forward Joe Allen a new long-term contract.

The 17-year-old has already been capped at under-21 level by Wales and will now remain at The Liberty Stadium until summer 2010.

"It's what dreams are made of and I'm ecstatic, but I know I've still got plenty to work on," Allen told the club's official website.

Swans boss Roberto Martinez added: "I'm delighted that we've secured the services of such exciting talent.

"It's fantastic to have such Welsh talent in the squad. I'm sure he has a bright international future ahead of him and an exciting career with Swansea City."
