Stoke City pair Salif Diao and Andy Wilkinson will both be at the Britannia Stadium next season after agreeing new contracts.

Senegal midfielder Diao was out of contract but has penned a new one-year deal with the Potters.

"I'm really happy to sign the contract," he told the club's official website.

"I've always wanted to stay here and the club always wanted me to stay here too.

"There's a very difficult season ahead of us now and it's good for everything to be sorted out now."

Meanwhile, full-back Wilkinson has extended his deal until summer 2012.

"It was a dream come true to play for the club that I supported as a kid and now to sign a new deal for another season going into the Premier League is another dream," he added.

"I still have to pinch myself at times to see if it's all real, but I'm buzzing and can't wait for the new season."
