Swansea: Fans react to news of van der Hoorn's birthday - Swansea City News

Swansea defender Mike van der Hoorn turns 27 today, with the club’s official Twitter channel @SwansOfficial marking the occasion.

Will Swansea City get promoted?

The Dutchman came to the Liberty Stadium from Ajax three years ago and he has made more than 100 appearances for the club since, scoring six goals and featuring in every Championship match for them last season.

He is currently on course to do the same this term, having been ever-present in the league so far in 2019/20 after 11 rounds of the Championship campaign.

Van der Hoorn’s current deal at Swansea expires at the end of this season and Wales Online reported that the club opened contract talks with him in July, having already triggered a one-year extension earlier this year to keep him at the club for the current campaign.

These Swansea fans on Twitter sent birthday greetings to the centre-back, with one fan even pleading for him to sign a new deal at the club:
