Stoke City have made their first signing of the summer by bringing in Republic of Ireland international defender Enda Stevens following his departure from Sheffield United.

The 32-year-old full-back has signed a one-year contract with the Potters.

"Enda is a really strong addition," said technical director Ricky Martin. "He knows the standards required to succeed in the Championship."

Stevens twice won promotion from the Championship with the Blades.

Dublin-born Stevens, who has made 25 international appearances, began his career with Shamrock Rovers before being signed in 2012 by Aston Villa, where he made nine first-team appearances.
