Stoke City boss Tony Pulis is confident Marc Wilson will continue to improve.

Along with Eidur Gudjohnsen, Wilson was Pulis' other permanent signing, the 23-year-old penning a four-year contract yesterday after arriving from Portsmouth in a deal that also saw Liam Lawrence and Dave Kitson move in the opposite direction.

Pulis said: "With Wilson, we paid around £1.5million plus two players, and we think that's good business as well. He's a good young player who will hopefully grow with this football club."
