Swansea City defender Neil Taylor has said that his fitness is improving, after recovering from his injury setbacks.

The Wales international was ruled out for the majority of last season due to an ankle injury, before suffering a thigh injury that kept him out until October.

Taylor has admitted that he is pleased to be back in action for the Swans.

"This season's been good for me so far because I've got back into the swing of things," Taylor told the South Wales Evening Post.

"As for getting back to the player I was before, I think I'll get there probably quicker than expected.

"I expected to play my first football this season, not the end of last season so I'm happy with how everything's going. I feel like I'm getting fitter all the time."

Swansea face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
