Stoke: Former England striker Michael Owen has signed for Stoke, ending a four-month search for a new club since being released by Manchester United.

The 32-year-old Owen has agreed to a one-year deal with Stoke after failing to re-ignite his career at Old Trafford during three injury-blighted seasons.

Stoke announced details of the signing on Twitter. Owen was a free agent and able to sign after the August transfer window closed on Friday.
