Jazz Richards extends loan - will remain at Fulham until end of season

Swansea youth product to remain in London until the end of 2014/15





You have to feel for Jazz Richards. He tried his best, but with the signing of Kyle Naughton it seems his route to the first team is now barred. Having found himself loaned out to Fulham the deal has now been extended, and he will remain at Craven Cottage until the season's end.

It seemed for a while like Jazz would be able to make the reserve right/left-back spot his own, and develop into a kind of "Premier League Alan Tate" for us. Sadly for him it seems if he wants first-team football he may be better off looking elsewhere.

That said, if he excels for Fulham you never know. Rangel isn't getting younger, and Tiendalli seems to be completely out of the picture, so perhaps Monk would consider him as backup to Naughton. I'm sure Jazz would like to remain in SA1 if possible, so these next few months could be crucial in deciding his Swansea City future.
