Stoke City midfielder Dave Brammer is hopeful of securing a new contract at the Britannia Stadium when his current deal expires next summer.

The 31-year-old was linked with a move out of the Potters during the close season, but stayed put and has been an instrumental part of boss Tony Pulis' plans so far this term.

As a result he is now looking to sign a contract extension and stay put for the foreseeable future.

He told the club's official website: "There was a lot of speculation in the press about me moving away over the summer. It was the first I'd heard about anything regarding me moving away so it was quite a surprise.

"But I'm happy here and looking forward to the season so that's the bottom of that really.

"I'll wait to see if the club want me to stay. I want to stay here, I'm happy, so the ball is in their court now."

He added: "I've always said I like playing with wingers and I think the four games before Plymouth we have passed it well and the midfield has been strong.

"We are looking to carry it on because we know this is a big week for us, starting with Barnsley on Saturday and then Sheffield Wednesday next Tuesday."
