Stoke boss Tony Pulis has praised Cameron Jerome for the attitude the in-form forward has shown since arriving at the club.
With Peter Crouch and Jon Walters being the first-choice pairing up front this term, Jerome - a summer signing from Birmingham - has had limited game time for the Staffordshire outfit so far, making only 10 starts.
He has shown his worth by scoring three times in his last four games, though, and Pulis said of the 25-year-old: "He has been smashing. Cammy has been unlucky not to play more often but Crouchy and Jon have been exceptional.
"They have really worked well together but Cammy has done well in respect of his attitude towards training and the way he has worked in training.
"He has been a credit to himself."
