Stoke City boss Mark Hughes is delighted with the development of his team this season.

Hughes laughed off suggestions he should seek a re-drawing of his original three-year contract, but acknowledged the progress made in his maiden season in charge.

"I have just tried to build on what was here before and I'd like to think we have done that.

"It's a club that's got further steps it can take and I would like to lead them to kick on again."
