Nathan Dyer expects to stay at Swansea City – even though he has less than a year remaining on his current deal.

Dyer believes a new contract will be “sorted out soon” for him to extend a Swansea career which has already yielded nearly 200 appearances.

“My representatives are talking to the club at the moment,” revealed Dyer, who first joined the Swans on loan from Southampton in January 2009 before completing a £400,000 move the following summer.

“Swansea is a great club and I’ve always felt at home here, so I hope something can get sorted out soon.

“I’ve got less than a year left, but it’s one of those things that has to get sorted out.

“I don’t think about my contract situation too much – I just try and play football.

“My contract is not a problem. There have been no arguments.

“It just takes time and eventually it will get sorted. I’m really happy at Swansea.

“Every year since I’ve arrived we have improved and improved.

“It’s been great to be part of the rise of Swansea, it’s been amazing to see the progress over the years.”

The diminutive 25-year-old winger has been a big part of that progress, helping the Swans into the Premier League and then establishing the club in the top flight over the past two seasons.

Dyer also played an integral role in Swansea’s League Cup final triumph at Wembley last February, scoring twice in the 5-0 thrashing of Bradford City and picking up the man-of-the-match award.

But he only managed three Premier League goals last season and knows he needs to improve that return in the forthcoming campaign.

The signs appear good right now, though, Dyer again on target in Sunday’s 2-0 warm-up win at Exeter after netting against Yeovil two days earlier.

“I hope the goals keep coming for me,” said Dyer.

“Goal-scoring is one of the aspects of my game I want to keep improving on.

“I want to keep driving into the box and hopefully keep getting chances.

“Everybody loves scoring goals and I’m no different, I want to keep improving as a player.

“My aim now is to keep getting into the box as much as I can, finding spaces and shooting.

“I’ll be happy however the goals come for me. The one at Exeter was a decent ball from (Jose) Canas, I was one-on-one with the goalkeeper and it was a decent finish.”

Swansea have one final pre-season friendly at Reading on Saturday before focusing on their Europa League campaign, which starts at the Liberty Stadium on August 1.

They will discover on Thursday night whether it is to be Hibernian or Malmo, the Swedes taking a 2-0 lead to Edinburgh.

“I’m really looking forward to playing in the Europa League,” said Dyer.

“It’s going to be a new adventure for us and will be good to test our skills against some of the best teams in Europe.

“Some players have played on the continent before, but it will be a good test for us as a team collectively.

“Hopefully we will gain some experience and be able to bring that into the Premier League.”

Dyer heads into the new campaign after a busy summer in which he got married and went to Disneyland on honeymoon.

“I got married, but I haven’t changed,” he said.

“I’ve just got a ring on my finger. I’m the same as I was before.

“Everyone says you change, but I don’t think it will for me. It’s another step in my personal life.

“We went to Disneyland in Orlando for a week and then onto Jamaica.

“It was amazing, my second time at Disneyland as I was about 12 the last time I went.

“This time I was tall enough to go on all the rides. Just about!”
