Peter Odemwingie signs Stoke City contract extension

Stoke City have announced that Peter Odemwingie has signed a one-year contract extension with the club.

The Nigeria international, who had been out of contract at the Britannia Stadium, missed most of last season with a knee injury.

Chief executive Tony Scholes told the club's website: "We're delighted to that Peter has extended his stay with us at the club until the summer of 2016. He suffered an unfortunate injury last season after making a big impression immediately after joining the club.

"Peter has worked incredibly hard to battle back from this to regain full fitness. He's a popular figure not just in the dressing room but with club staff and supporters so we are thrilled to keep him on board this season."

Odemwingie has scored five goals in 23 appearances for Stoke since joining the club last year.
