Leon James Britton (born 16 September 1982) is a retired English professional footballer and coach, who played as a midfielder. He spent most of his career with Swansea City. Having joined Swansea on a permanent transfer in 2003, Britton has gone on to make over 500 league appearances for the club. He joined Sheffield United in the summer of 2010, but transferred back to Swansea in January 2011. Britton instantly became a central figure in Swansea's successful promotion campaign. He remains one of a handful of players to have represented any club in all four professional divisions of the English footballing pyramid, along with Brett Ormerod, and former Swansea teammates Alan Tate and Garry Monk.
