Stoke City winger Jermaine Pennant is grateful for his new contract from manager Mark Hughes.
And he says fans have always supported him.
"They have supported from the day I came here," Pennant told The Sentinel.
"Not having a great past and the rumours, people making up their own stories to portray me in a certain way, but the fans here have ignored all that.
"I've tried my best to deliver and they have welcomed me with back open arms, and I'm very grateful for that."
