John Carew has expressed his satisfaction with choosing Stoke City over West Bromwich Albion when he left Aston Villa in January.

The towering striker moved to the Britannia Stadium on a loan deal after falling out of favour at Villa Park and has already established himself in Tony Pulis’s side.

The Norwegian hitman was also wanted by former Baggies boss Roberto Di Matteo but snubbed a move to the Hawthorns.

“I am very happy with the decision I made, not only because I have come to a good team, but because of the manager and the great lads here,” he told The Sentinel.

“I am enjoying every moment with them and really am having a great time.

“It is perfect for now, so I am very happy with the choice and am 100 per cent sure it was the right decision.”
