Jonathan Walters has revealed that he is keen to spend the remainder of his career with Stoke City.
Since joining the Potters from Ipswich Town in 2010, the Republic of Ireland international has become a key member of Tony Pulis's squad.
Speaking after being named the club's player of the year, Walters insisted that he wants to stay with Stoke for several years to come.
"I am absolutely chuffed to bits to win this award. It is not just a football club award, but a city award, and with Ryan Shawcross and Robert Huth already winning it, I'm happy to be in their company," said Walters. "We have carried on improving year-on-year and now we want to finish in the top 10 for the first time.
"On a personal level, you want to keep going at a club that is improving and keep improving yourself.
"Players with great Premier League and international experience like Peter Crouch were signed last year, and I want to be a part of that for many years to come if I can."
Walters has three-and-a-half years remaining on his current deal at the Britannia Stadium.
