Stoke City defender Aaron Cresswell says he felt "straightaway the feel-good factor" in the club after joining in July.

Cresswell left West Ham after 11 years with the club and has started both the opening two games for the Potters.

The 35-year-old has praised his new teammates and the club's start to the campaign.

"We've had a fantastic start to the season, no doubt about it, but it's only the start. We're not getting complacent or anything like that; we know how tough this division is, and we have just got to be ready for every challenge.

"Every team will bring a different strength and weakness and we have to go into that full of positivity and ready for the next challenge.

"Since I've been here I've watched the games, obviously I missed a couple, but the lads were excellent in those games, beating Burnley at home and drawing with Wolves and a couple of other games we've played, but it's a start, and that's all it is,

"I can only speak for what I've experienced up to now, but straightaway I got that feel-good factor, and the positivity around the place feels right; that's the way I'm feeling. The group, the fans and everything about it feels so positive at the moment, and we want to keep it that way."
