Stoke City boss Mark Hughes has revealed that he is keen to extended his stay at the club.

The 50-year-old's current contract at the Britannia Stadium is due to expire at the end of next season.

Despite no discussions having taken place between the relevant parties, Hughes admits that he is open to the idea of penning a new deal with the Potters.

"We've had no discussions. It's early days," he told The Sentinel. "I'm quite happy here, I'm having a great time at a great club and, if they want me to stay, it will be their choice, and always will be their choice.

"I'm encouraged and enthused by what's happening here and it's great when you get that feeling. I'm delighted with where we are, but there's a lot of work to do and that's something that won't faze me."

Hughes guided Stoke to a ninth-place finish in the Premier League table last season.
