TON-UP FULTON’S SWANS AMBITION
JAY Fulton is set to be the latest Swansea City player to mark 100 appearances for the club, but there’ll be only one thing on his mind this evening – giving the Swans the upper hand in the first leg of their play-off semifinal with Brentford.
The 26-year-old midfielder said: “It’s a proud achievement getting to 100 appearances, but right now as a team we are focused on preparing for the play-offs, giving our all and we’ll see where it takes us.
“We’ve put ourselves in the play-offs so we’ve given ourselves a chance. We’ll prepare for it like any normal game and we’ll give it our all.
“We are playing well, so we’ll give it 100% and see where it takes us, like we have done all season.
“This season I think we have been written off a lot of the time but now we have an opportunity in front of us and anything can happen in these games, it’s one last push.
“The way we played right up until the end on Wednesday [in the win over Reading] and the quality of the goals was amazing, sometimes it just seems as if something was meant to happen,” added the former Falkirk man.
Fulton’s ton comes hot on the heels of those racked up by Matt Grimes and Connor Roberts.
Grimes marked his century with a victory at Birmingham, with Roberts able to do likewise in the unforgettable win against the Royals.
Fulton will hope to do the same in today’s play-off semifinal clash against Brentford, having made the most of his recent opportunities after having to show patience in his early years with the Swans.
He said: “We have got ourselves in the play-offs and we have an opportunity to get back to the Premier League, which is where everyone wants to be.
“The last two years in the Championship have been really enjoyable.
“It is a tough league with the amount of games and there are a lot of experienced players in the league, but we definitely have a better understanding of it this season.”
