Lee Grant rejects Stoke exit talk

Lee Grant insists he's committed to Stoke City.

The goalkeeper lost his place to fit-again Jack Butland towards the end of this season.

"I've had a huge disappointment and a come down from a run of 28 Premier League games," he revealed to The Sentinel, “and after the last game against Hull when we win, to the low the next week of not playing, I have to take stock of where I am, where I was, and understand that I am privileged and honoured to be in this position, then re-group and go again next season.

“I am still trying to learn and get better, and enjoy trying to get better, and that has allowed me to make the step up because of all the hard work.

“I feel absolutely privileged to have made that transition (from Championship to Premier League) and the key now is trying to get the shirt back."
