Crouch and Whelan seal new Stoke deals

Stoke City duo Peter Crouch and Glenn Whelan have signed two-year contract extensions with the club, reports BBC Sport. Both striker Crouch, 33, and midfielder Whelan, 31, would have been out of contract this summer.

Crouch is their record signing, having cost £10m from Tottenham in 2011.

Boss Mark Hughes said: "They are both fantastic professionals who had contributed a great deal to Stoke City long before I joined the club and have continued to do so."
