Garry joined the Swans at the start of the 2004/05 season after being released by then Premiership side Southampton, a club he joined from Torquay.
He had spent eight long years with the Saints, but the central defender found first team appearances hard to come by and spent loan spells at the likes of Stockport, Oxford, Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley.
Monk was ever present in the Swans squad on his arrival and named club captain in 2006. But a serious knee injury in the opening game of the campaign kept him out all season before making his comeback with the Reserves in the final weeks of the campaign.
Played a big role in the heart of defence as the Swans lifted the League One title but did miss some matches towards the end of the season through injury.

The club captain was equally impressive during the Championship campaign and formed a formidable partnership with Welsh international Ashley Williams.
On November 11, 2009, Monk extended his stay in south west Wales until 2012 by signing a new three-year deal.
