Stoke pay-as-you-play deal for Woodgate laid bare

Stoke City's agreement with Tottenham crock Jonathan Woodgate has been detailed.

The Sun says Potters chairman Peter Coates, who owns betting giant Bet365, yesterday staked some of his multi-million fortune on the injury-riddled star by granting him a one-year deal.

Woodgate will start on £20,000 a week at Stoke, which will double to £40,000 in time in the pay-as-you-play agreement.

Former Stoke and England keeper Gordon Banks declared: "I think it's a smashing signing. He has lots of experience and has proven his ability."
