Swansea midfielder Roberto Martinez will continue as captain of Swansea City for the 2005/06 campaign.

The 31-year old was believed to be on his way out of the club after manager Kenny Jackett's arrival last year.

Martinez was left out of a number of squads last season, however, regained his place in the side and impressed Jackett with his commitment, ability and leadership.

"Roberto is a good leader, sets an example and has terrific qualities that you associate with a captain," Jackett said
