Jon Walters is loving life in the Premier League with Stoke City.
The 27-year-old says he is enjoying the step up from Championship football, but taking nothing for granted having faced competition for his place from Ricardo Fuller, Jones, John Carew, Tuncay and Eidur Gudjohnsen over the last eight months.
He told The Sentinel: "It is what every player aspires to and works for. If you start thinking you can't do it, then you won't do it.
"I have worked a hell of a lot over the past few years to get where I am and I am not going to stop working now."
