Swans defender Kevin Austin will come face to face with one of his former clubs at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday with one goal in mind - sampling Championship football again.
Barnsley, Swansea's opponents for the League One play-off final, are one of the seven clubs Austin has represented on his footballing travels.
And there's nothing more Austin would like than another crack at the Championship next season having tasted the second tier of British football with Barnsley during his two-year spell at the club from 1999-2001.
"It was a great experience playing in the Championship with Barnsley,'' adds Austin. "Unbelievable, in fact. ''It's still a great club and despite suffering from a serious Achilles injury I was sorry to leave. ''Like Swansea, Barnsley are geared up to play their football at a higher level, but I hope they have to wait that little but longer than us.''
Although Austin's contract expires after Saturday's Millennium Stadium experience, the big defender who was described as a ''rock'' by skipper Garry Monk at Brentford 10 days ago, is still hopeful of pulling the proud Swans shirt back on next season - but in the Championship this time.
"There are some big clubs in the Championship that would hold their own in the Premiership,'' added Austin.
"Obviously the skill factor in the Championship is greater and the pace is a notch higher than League One, but if Swansea get up there I firmly believe they won't have a problem adapting.''
Austin does have some bad memories of his time at Oakwell, however, after he was forced to watch injured from the Wembley stands as his Barnsley side lost out on a return to the Premiership after they were beaten in the play-off final by Ipswich six years ago.
''I still remember everything being doom and gloom after that defeat,'' he added. "Take it from me, to lose a play-off final is not a nice experience, so we have to make sure we finish the job we've started on Saturday.''
