Glen Johnson has signed a one-year contract extension with Stoke, committing him to the Potters until at least the summer of 2018.

Johnson, whose existing deal was due to expire this summer, has featured 21 times in all competitions this season.

"It was a no-brainer for me when the Club indicated they wanted me to sign a contract extension," Johnson told the club's website.

"I've really enjoyed my time as a Stoke City player so far. People made me feel really welcome from the moment I walked through the door two years and it's a good place to be.

"I still feel as though I've got plenty to offer as a player and want to continue to help Stoke City move forward."

"When you've got players of Glen's ability and experience in the building you would be foolish to let them leave," Stoke manager Mark Hughes said.

"He's 32 and remains a key figure in my plans and needless to say, I'm delighted he has signed a contract extension."
