Marc Wilson is delighted with his move to Stoke City.

The former Portsmouth captain signed for Stoke yesterday.

Wilson told the club's website: "This is a great club which is on the up and so this is a positive move for me.

"I had a taste of playing in the Premier League last season, it's the best League in the world and I wanted to get back there as soon as possible.

"I spoke to Mark O'Connor when I knew Stoke were interested in me because he was responsible for bringing me through as a youngster at Portsmouth. He's a great guy and he has certainly been a big influence upon me choosing to come here."
