Stoke City confirm departure of club stalwart Ryan Shawcross after 14 years as 33-year-old closes in on move to David Beckham's Inter Miami

Stoke City have confirmed that Ryan Shawcross has ended his tenure at the club, leaving him free to join David Beckham's Inter Miami side in the US.

In a statement on Friday, the club said Shawcross' contract has been terminated by mutual consent, allowing the 33-year-old to 'pursue new playing opportunities in the United States' and close in on his move to the MLS franchise.

Stoke chief executive Tony Scholes called Shawcross an 'outstanding role-model, both on and off the pitch' and said his contribution to the Potters after 14 years with the club 'cannot be overstated'.
