Huth joins Stoke

Huth joins Stoke in a £5million deal from Middlesbrough.

He said: “I am grateful to Stoke for the opportunity to play in the Premier League so soon again. It was really a no brainer to come here once I found out that this club wanted to sign me.”

Stoke chief executive Tony Scholes said: “This is a fantastic signing for the club because Robert gives us international pedigree and Premier League experience as well.

“Our manager Tony Pulis has been looking to strengthen the squad with the intention of taking us to an even higher level after we achieved a magnificent twelfth place in the Premier League last season and we are confident that Robert is the type of player who can help us achieve that aim.”
