Swansea captain Williams happy to focus on Premier League

Ashley Williams admits he is relieved to not have Europa League football to worry about next season.

Swansea City missed out on Europe's second tier competition after losing 4-2 to Manchester City on Sunday but captain William was not too perturbed as the club can now concentrate on the Premier League next term.

"Definitely [I am relieved], to be honest.I really enjoyed playing the games last season but it is very difficult. You see that most teams in the Premier League suffer when they play in it," he said.

"It was one of those things where if we had got it then brilliant, but now we haven't we can concentrate on the Premier League.

"I'm glad I've played in it once in my career, it wouldn't have been doom and gloom if we had got in there but I'd prefer to concentrate on the league."
