Stoke City's Australia international defender Harry Souttar has signed an undisclosed "long-term" contract with the Championship club.

The 22-year-old centre-back, who joined the Potters from Dundee United in 2016, has made 26 appearances this season.

"Harry has made a lot of progress this season," said boss Michael O'Neill.

"Although he still has progress to make, it's nice to have another young player who sees his long-term future here at Stoke."

The Potters have not disclosed the exact length of Souttar's new deal.

Aberdeen-born Souttar, who qualifies to play for Australia through his mother, made his international debut in October 2019.
