Stoke sign Derby goalkeeper Lee Grant on short-term loan deal
Derby County goalkeeper Lee Grant has joined Premier League club Stoke City on loan deal until January.
Stoke boss Mark Hughes drafted in the 33-year-old to provide competition for Jack Butland, Shay Given and Jakob Haugaard at the bet365 Stadium.
Grant, who has played over 180 times in two spells with the Rams, has signed a deal until January 3, 2017.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Hughes said: “We felt it was important to make sure we are well covered in that area.
“We obviously have good young ‘keepers but Lee is experienced, he is of a good age and we felt it would be sensible for us to bring him in if we possibly could.
“We have been able to do that, and it ensures we are covered for any eventuality now.”
Meanwhile, Stoke are adding to their firepower with the season-long loan signing of Manchester City striker Wilfried bony.
