How it feels to win the Championship play-off final
"Arriving on the bus, I couldn't even see the stadium because there were so many fans. Seeing everyone there, wanting us to do so well, was amazing.
"I had butterflies in my stomach and felt a little bit sick, but as soon as I got into the changing room, things went back to normal.
"The message from Brendan Rodgers was: 'This is the moment to change your life.' Playing in the Premier League is all you dream of as a boy. Watching your idols on Match of the Day - every footballer wants to get there and experience what it's like.
"The first half was just incredible. It was comfortable for us - 3-0 up with the goals coming thick and fast. We were all in shock because Reading were a good team.
"In the second half, they were fired up and had nothing to lose. We took a little step back and they hit us with two goals in quick succession.
"I remember looking up to the sky and thinking, 'Oh no, we’re going to lose. Please, not today.' They had chances to equalise and it's a different story if they go in. Luckily, they hit the post, and we made a last-ditch tackle to keep them at bay, then scored down the other end.
"The emotions were just all over the place. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking 'Is this actually happening?' It didn’t sink in until I saw the fixtures and the league table refreshed, with Swansea next to all these big clubs. It was unreal.
"Going up through the play-offs is probably the hardest thing to do, but it's one of the best feelings. Blood, sweat and tears throughout the whole season, then to cap it all off by playing at Wembley and celebrating with all those travelling fans.
"We put Swansea on the map at that point. It was massive for the football club and the city. We made history."
