Stoke City have completed the signing of Andrew Davies after agreeing a four-year contract with the Southampton defender.

The Potters agreed an undisclosed fee with the Championship side for the 23-year-old over the weekend and Davies has now put pen to paper at the Britannia Stadium.

The former England Under-21 international began his career with Middlesbrough and made over 50 appearances for the Premier League club.

He moved onto Southampton on a permanent basis last October, where he made 25 appearances before finishing the season on the sidelines with a fractured cheekbone.

Davies also underwent knee surgery during the summer and has yet to make an appearances this season.

"Andy comes to us with considerable Premier League experience for a player of his age," chief executive Tony Scholes told the club's official website.

"He is our sixth signing of the summer and another valuable addition to Tony Pulis' squad."
