Former England striker Peter Crouch has settled his immediate future by signing a two-year contract extension with Stoke City, the Premier League club said on Thursday.
.
The news ends speculation that Crouch, who has scored 37 goals in 140 appearance for Stoke, would leave when his current deal expires at the end of the season.
.
Crouch, who will be 34 on Friday, joined the Midlands club from Tottenham Hotspur in a club record £10 million deal in 2011.
.
“People will stop talking about my future now hopefully, and I can just concentrate on doing well for this club which has always been my objective,” Crouch said on the Stoke website (www.stokecityfc.com).
.
“I’m really happy here and I think that is evident given the fact that I have spent more time here and played more games than at any other club I have been at in my career.”
