Stoke City announce agreement with Rangers for Jamie Ness

Stoke City have agreed to sign Rangers midfielder Jamie Ness subject to international clearance.

The Potters have confirmed that the 21-year-old will join the Premier League club after agreeing terms at the Britannia Stadium.

Stoke manager Tony Pulis told the club's official website: "Jamie is a lad with enormous potential who is clearly determined to make the most of this fresh start in the game.

"It's important that we introduce some young blood in strengthening the squad and he certainly fits the bill as someone tipped for a bright future."

Ness effectively became a free agent in the last few weeks after rejecting the transfer of his contract to the newco at Rangers.
