Stoke City have beaten West Bromwich Albion for junior goalkeeper Bradley Foster-Theniger.
The 12 year-old has impressed scouts with Stafford Rangers.
Manager Tim Turner told the Stafford Newsletter: "It's always nice to see players move on to academy teams knowing that they will receive the best training available which will include one day release from school.
"Brad has worked so hard during his short time with the club and we all wish him the very best of luck for the future.
"It also proves that as a junior club we are moving in the right direction which is attracting the attention of local league teams as this is now the third player to leave us for local league sides over the past few seasons."
