Nigeria Striker Peter Odemwingie at 32 moves to Stock City

 Nigeria striker Peter Odemwingie has described his transfer from Cardiff to Stoke as "a step forward for me".

The 32-year-old joined the Potters on Tuesday in a swap deal that took Kenwyne Jones to the Welsh club.

Odemwingie told BBC Sport: "Stoke have a strong squad and I'm looking forward to contributing as much as possible.

"I'm particularly excited at the prospect of working under [Stoke manager] Mark Hughes and I'm delighted he was really keen to bring me over."

Odemwingie struggled to produce his best form at Cardiff after joining from West Brom in September 2013, and found himself out of favour under new Bluebirds boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
