Swansea City goalkeeper Roger Freestone has decided to make a contribution to the club's recently launched supporters fund.

The Swansea City Supporters Trust has set up the fund to allow the club to sign players on loan.

They hope to raise �375 a week for the next 3 months.

Freestone, the club's longest serving current player, is celebrating 11 seasons at The Vetch this season.

But with the club in serious trouble at the bottom of the Third Division, Freestone is determined to do all he can to avoid relegation.

Freestone's biographers, Keith Haynes and Phil Sumbler, have also made a donation.

Said Freestone: "The club means so much to me, and I consider myself as a big fan as anyone else connected to the club.

"This is a drop in the ocean in Premier League terms but all three of us have put our hands in our pockets.

"We hope that others, who can do so, will follow suit.

"If our money pays for a loan player for a period of time and it gets us out of this mess, then we have done our bit.

It's a very important gesture at this moment Swansea manager Brian Flynn

"Of course, the squad will remain fixed in our own objectives to turn things around with a very good managerial team."

Swans manager Brian Flynn has earlier paid tribute to the fans for their generosity in organising the fund.

"It's a fantastic gesture," said Flynn.

"It just shows how much passion the Swans fans and the people of south Wales have got for Swansea City.

"It's a very important gesture at this moment and one that everyone at the club is delighted with."
