Stoke sign Brighton midfielder Moran on loan deal

Stoke City have signed Republic of Ireland midfielder Andrew Moran on a season-long loan from Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 20-year-old becomes Stoke's seventh summer signing.

He has made three first-team appearances as a Brighton substitute and also went out on loan last season - to the Potters' fellow Championship side Blackburn Rovers, where he scored twice in 19 starts.

Like Stoke City sporting director Jonathan Walters, he is also a Republic of Ireland international, having won 11 under-21 caps before making his senior debut in November.

"Andrew is a young player with a bright future high up in the game," said Walters.
