Stoke signing Woodgate: I still have lot to offer
New Stoke City signing Jonathan Woodgate is determined to make the most his new lifeline.
The former Tottenham centre-back was delighted to be handed an opportunity with the Potters and is ready to prove he can still cut it in the Premier League.
"It was important for me to work hard on my fitness during the summer because I wasn't sure where I would be playing and I knew that would decide my future," Woodgate said.
"So hopefully I can stay fit now because I feel I still have a lot to offer at this level. With the back-up from the medical and sports science department which they have here at Stoke, that can only help my prospects of doing that."
He added: "I was thrilled when Tony Pulis asked me to come and join the club.
"I'd spoken to him a couple of times about the progress that Stoke have made over the past three seasons and his plans for the future in aiming to build on that success."
