Stoke Handed Major Boost Ahead of Championship Campaign as Star Pledges Future to the Club

Stoke City star Bruno Martins Indi has admitted he's prepared for a tough test in the Championship next season.

The 26-year-old managed just 17 Premier League appearances last year in what was an injury-plagued campaign, where he was unable to prevent the Potters from suffering relegation to the second tier for the first time in 10 years.

Relegation often leads to clubs losing their biggest talents as Stoke have found out this summer following the departure of Xherdan Shaqiri to Liverpool. However, a rare piece of positive news for Stoke fans has arisen with Martins Indi confirming he's willing to help the Potters bounce back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
