Ryan Shawcross completes his move to Stoke City from Manchester United

Stoke have signed the 20-year-old Chester-born defender on a three-and-half year deal.

Shawcross told BBC Radio Stoke: "I turned down a contract at United to come to Stoke and that shows how much I want to play here."

The fee is an initial �1million, which could double depending on appearances and Stoke City's success.
