Stoke City defender Harry Souttar has signed a new deal.

Souttar has penned a new four-and-a-half year deal at Stoke City before joining Ross County on loan for the rest of the season.

The impressive youth defender is heading back to the Scottish Premiership where he made his senior breakthrough at Dundee United, says The Sentinel.

Souttar joined Stoke early last season but could not make his first appearance until the new year due to red tape. He helped Kevin Russell's under-18s reach the FA Youth Cup semi-final - the furthest Stoke have progressed in that competition since 1984 - and stepped up with the under-23s.
