Midfielder Kristian O'Leary has accepted a new one-year deal to remain at Swansea City.
The 29-year-old rejected a three-year contract to join Cheltenham Town after revealing his excitement for the squad currently being assembled at the Liberty Stadium by manager Roberto Martinez.
O'Leary spent three months on loan with Town last season before returning to Swansea and playing his way back into the first-team picture following Martinez's appointment.
"Swansea is where my heart is and I hope my decision to turn down the three-year deal proves my commitment to the club," he told the Swans official website.
"I've virtually grown up in a Swansea shirt and I still want to do well for them.
"I know I've got another massive challenge ahead of me with the squad the manager is putting together, but it's nothing new to me - I've always had challenges."
