Whelan has become one of Stoke's most important players since signing for the club from Sheffield Wednesday in 2007, clocking up more than 300 appearances for the club during that time and has been one of the mainstays in the recent Stoke revolution which has seen them shed the shackles of Tony Pulis' restrictive system in favour of more expansive style of play under Mark Hughes.
Tony Scholes, chief executive of the club, paid tribute to Whelan's contribution to the club in a statement on the official Stoke City website this morning.
Glenn has been one of the mainstays of our side since his arrival and few players can have provided such value for money in the history of the Premier League.
He remains a key figure in Mark Hughes' squad and we are delighted he has decided to extend his stay at the bet365 Stadium.
