Stoke sign Higginbotham from Saints

Stoke City have announced tonight that they have signed defender, Danny Higginbotham from Southampton for an undisclosed fee but we believe it to be in the region of £225,000.

Higginbotham has signed a three year deal after rejecting a new contract from Southampton.

The former Saints’ captain made over 100 appearances for the club and Tony Pulis believes he could slot in to the left back slot that proved troublesome last season and should start for the Potters at Saturday’s away game at Southend.
