One out two in for Pompey

31 August 2010 20:30
Portsmouth midfielder Marc Wilson has joined Stoke in a deal which sees Liam Lawrence and David Kitson go the other way. The 23-year-old has signed a four-year deal at the Britannia in a player-plus-cash transfer. The arrival of Lawrence and Kitson at Fratton Park adds quality to a Pompey side that currently sit bottom of the Championship. Stoke boss Tony Pulis said of the duo's exit from the Potters: "The deal has enabled Lawrence and Kitson to move on, giving them a fresh start in their careers and the chance of regular first team football. "We would like to thank them for their contribution and wish them all the best. "Liam, in particular, has been a great servant of this club and has played a major part in the success that we have achieved over the past three seasons."
