Luke Williams says Przemyslaw Placheta could yet have a future at Swansea City despite being released by the Championship club last month.

Swansea announced in May that winger Placheta, who signed on a free transfer from Norwich City in January, was to depart at the end of his short-term contract.

But Placheta, 26, is being looked after by Swansea’s staff after suffering a significant hamstring injury in March.

Williams says the Poland international could yet be offered a new contract.

“We are still in contact with Przemy - we still have a duty of care," said the Swansea head coach.

"He sustained an injury playing for us and we have to look after him now – we have to honour that.

“I don’t think the door is completely shut on Przemy. I think he played some brilliant football for us and he helped to reinvent the side a little bit.”

Williams felt Placheta and fellow wideman Ronald played a significant role in his team’s progress after arriving in Wales in January.

The duo gave balance and dynamism to Swansea, who pulled clear of relegation danger in the spring after an arduous campaign.
