Stoke City Football Club has officially announced that promising forward Thomas Cannon has extended his contract with the club for six more years, ensuring his services will remain at the Bet365 Stadium until at least 2032. This contract extension is seen as a significant step for both the player and the club, with Cannon being viewed as one of the brightest young talents in English football.
Cannon, who has been with Stoke City since 2022, has been making waves with his impressive performances and natural goal-scoring ability. The 20-year-old striker has already become a fan favorite, with his speed, technical skill, and ability to find the back of the net earning him praise from coaches, teammates, and supporters alike. His consistent performances have been vital in Stoke City’s quest to return to the Premier League, and this new contract reflects the club’s faith in his potential.
The club’s decision to secure Cannon for the long term comes as no surprise, given his rapid development over the past few seasons. While he initially joined the Potters from Everton, Cannon has quickly adapted to the Championship’s competitive nature. His performances last season, in particular, showed his maturity beyond his years, with multiple goals and assists that helped Stoke remain in the upper half of the league.
Speaking about the contract extension, Cannon expressed his excitement about his future at Stoke City. “I am absolutely thrilled to sign a new contract with this fantastic club,” Cannon said. “Stoke City has given me a chance to grow as a player, and I feel that I can achieve great things here. I’m committed to helping the team reach new heights, and I’m looking forward to what the next few years hold.”
For Stoke City, securing Cannon’s future is crucial as the club aims to continue building a strong team capable of challenging for promotion to the Premier League. The long-term commitment shows the club’s ambition, as they look to nurture young talent and establish a sustainable model for success. With the 2032 horizon now set, Cannon’s extension offers stability and a clear vision for Stoke’s future as they continue their pursuit of top-flight football.
Manager Alex Neil also praised the contract extension, calling it a “massive boost” for the club. “Thomas is an incredible talent with immense potential. His attitude, work ethic, and ability to score goals are exactly what we need as we build towards a brighter future.”
Cannon’s extended contract is a statement of intent from both the player and Stoke City, and fans will be hopeful that the young striker’s best years are still ahead of him at the Bet365 Stadium.
