Jamaica international Ricardo Fuller has committed his long-term future to Stoke City by penning a contract that will keep him at the Britannia Stadium until 2011.

The 28-year-old former Preston, Portsmouth and Southampton forward has already scored eight goals for the Potters this term to bring his tally for the club to 19 in 53 appearances.

Chief executive Tony Scholes told the club's official website: "Ricardo's a very, very important player for us, so I'm obviously delighted he's agreed to extend his contract.

"We actually agreed the deal the day before the Blackpool game and then he celebrated in the best way possible by going and scoring two goals.

"Everyone knows that on his day Ricardo is one of, if not the best striker in this division.

"We believe that signing him up to a longer contract shows how serious we are about pushing for the Premiership."
