Lee Grant signs for Stoke City in £1.3m permanent deal from Derby

Stoke have completed the permanent signing of Derby goalkeeper Lee Grant following his impressive loan spell at the Premier League club.

Grant has put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half-year contract and moves to the bet365 Stadium for a fee of £1.3 million.

The 33-year-old joined Stoke on a half-season loan in August as cover for Shay Given after an injury to first-choice keeper Jack Butland, but he has gone on to make 16 appearances for Mark Hughes' side, keeping the jersey after getting his chance in September.

"It's a perfect start to the New Year for me, especially on the back of winning the game last night and keeping a clean-sheet too," he told Stoke's official website.
