Jon Walters hits out after turning down new Stoke contract

Republic of Ireland international striker Jon Walters has turned down a new contract at Stoke and hit out at the terms of the deal he was offered.

Walters, 31, is out of contract at the end of the season and both manager Mark Hughes and chairman Peter Coates have urged him to sign the new deal.

But Walters, who was on target in Stoke’s Capital One Cup success at Luton Town on Tuesday night, has made it clear that he won’t be signing unless the terms of the deal are changed.
