New deal for Wilkinson

21 April 2011 10:00
Stoke full-back Andy Wilkinson has signed a new contract to keep him at the FA Cup finalists until 2014. The 26-year-old was a part of the the stunning 5-0 FA Cup semi-final win over Bolton on Sunday that earned the club their first ever final appearance. Wilkinson, who was born in Stoke, is one of the club's longest-serving players having made his first-team debut in 2003-04. "This has capped an amazing few days for me," Wilkinson told the club's official website, www.stokecityfc.com. "Being a local lad, it's always been a dream of mine to play for this club, never mind having the chance now to play in an FA Cup final following our win at the weekend. "It's been remarkable to see the progress this club has made in my time here and I am excited about what the future holds in store for us."
