The former Chelsea defender becomes the Potters' sixth signing of the summer after agreeing a two-year deal with the Britannia Stadium outfit
Stoke City have completed the signing of Glen Johnson on a two-year contract after the England international was released by Liverpool.The full-back was not offered a new deal by Brendan Rodgers having spent six years at Anfield following his arrival from Portsmouth in 2009.
And he becomes Mark Hughes' sixth signing of the summer as he agreed a deal to keep him at the Britannia Stadium until 2017 while he has the option of a third-year.
The 30-year-old has flown to Singapore with the rest of the Stoke squad as they prepare to face Everton in the Premier League Asia Trophy on Wednesday, and Hughes admitted he was thrilled to have signed the ex-Chelsea man.
"Glen will be a fantastic addition to our squad," he told the club's official website. "He commanded a huge transfer fee when he left Portsmouth for Liverpool but dealt with the pressure that comes with that.
"He’s a talented defender who also chips in with goals - as we discovered last season when he scored the winner against us at Anfield – and having spoken to him I know how much he’s looking forward to being a Stoke player."
