Stoke sign Norwich defender Gibson

Stoke City have completed their first summer signing by bringing in Norwich City defender Ben Gibson.

The 31-year-old former Middlesbrough and Burnley centre-back has signed a three-year deal with the Potters.

He has twice won promotion from the Championship, in 2015-16 with hometown club Boro, where his uncle Steve is the chairman, and again with the Canaries in 2020-21.

Gibson also played in the top flight for Burnley, who he joined from Boro in 2018 as their then £15m record signing.

"Having won promotion from the second tier, Ben is well versed in knowing what it takes to be successful at this level," said Stoke sporting director Jonathan Walters.
