Johnson completes Stoke switch

Stoke City have completed the signing of England international full-back Glen Johson, according to the Mail Online.

The 30 year old, who was a free agent after his contract with Liverpool had expired, has penned a two year deal with Mark Hughes’ side.

Johnson had spent the past six seasons on Merseyside, racking up two hundred two hundred appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring nine goals while he was part of the squad that won the 2012 League Cup under Kenny Dalglish.

Prior to his move to Anfield, he had spells with Portsmouth and Chelsea, having begun his career with West Ham United.

He also has fifty-four senior caps for his country, with his one and only international goal so far coming in a 3-1 friendly victory over Mexico prior to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Stoke, who have finished ninth in each of the last two season, can be backed at 11/10 to end the 2015/16 campaign in the top half of the Premier League.
