New Stoke City signing Aaron Cresswell says joining the Potters will be "a different challenge" after more than a decade in the Premier League with West Ham but he is "ready to step up".
The 35-year-old former England and Ipswich left-back agreed a one-year deal at the bet365 Stadium on 10 July following the expiration of his contract with the Hammers after 11 years of service.
Cresswell told BBC Radio Stoke it was an odd feeling getting used to a new club after spending such a long time in east London.
"It is, but that's football," he said.
