Former Swansea defender Kevin Austin has died, aged 45.
Austin, who made 150 appearances for the Swans between 2004 and 2008, passed away on Friday after a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer.
During his time with the club, Austin won promotion from League Two in 2005 and was a part of Roberto Martinez's League One-winning squad in 2008.
He also earned seven international caps for Trinidad and Tobago.
