Johnson completes Stoke switch

Glen Johnson has completed his widely anticipated move to Stoke City, signing a contract until 2017 at the Britannia Stadium.

Stoke City has completed the signing of England fullback Glen Johnson on a two-year deal.

Johnson, 30, had been heavily linked with a move to the Britannia Stadium throughout the transfer window after he was released by Liverpool.

He has now penned terms until 2017, with Stoke retaining the option for a third year.

Manager Mark Hughes told Stoke's official website: "Glen will be a fantastic addition to our squad. He commanded a huge transfer fee when he left Portsmouth for Liverpool but dealt with the pressure that comes with that.
