Dickinson was a key part of Stoke's promotion-winning team last season

Stoke City left-back Carl Dickinson has joined League One side Leeds United on a one-month loan deal.

The 21-year-old, who joined the Potters as a trainee, has made three Premier League appearances this season.

Stoke boss Tony Pulis told BBC Radio Stoke: "At the moment we think it's important that Dicko gets games.

"He's trained well but has been a little bit short in the games we've asked him to play in, so the chance to play games is right for him."

Dickinson is thought to have turned down similar moves to Blackpool and Charlton in favour of Leeds.
