SCOTT Sinclair has promised Swansea City fans he will only get better after setting sights on the Championship play- offs.

The former Chelsea winger made an impressive debut during last weekend's 4-0 demolition of Preston at the Liberty Stadium.

His Swansea bow came just five days after the 21-year-old had signed a three-year deal with the club, and Sinclair believes that as he settles, his performances will improve.

"It was good to get the first game under my belt and hopefully I can progress from that," he said.

"I'm not at my best right now because last Saturday was my first game and it's not long since I've come in.

"Hopefully I can keep kicking on, and I'm sure I will get better and better with each game."

Sinclair put in a lively first Swansea showing against the Lilywhites, demonstrating his trademark pace and direct running from wide on the left.

He nearly marked his first appearance with a goal after having an effort ruled out for offside.

"I was disappointed about that because it would have been nice to score my first goal on my debut," he said.

"But it doesn't really matter who scores the goals as long as we keep winning every week — that's the main thing.

"I thought it was a great performance. The boys played exceptionally as you can see with the result. We scored four goals and I thought collectively it was a great game."

Swansea's record signing received a warm welcome from the home fans after completing a deal that could eventually be worth more than £1 million.

Sinclair admitted he enjoyed that reception, and he is now aiming to repay supporters by helping Brendan Rodgers's side to a top-six finish.

"The fans were exceptional — they are a great set of fans and now I'm just looking forward to every home game," he added.

"All the boys here are wicked, they're a great set of lads.

"The result against Preston says we're a great side, we're a great passing team. If we can play like that every week, we'll be well up that table very quickly.

"We've got the boys in the team, the quality to get into the play-offs.

"I saw a few games last season on TV so I knew Swansea were a great passing side, now I'm just happy to be part of it."
