Stoke sign Brek Shea from FC Dallas in £2.5m deal

Stoke have signed United States international winger Brek Shea from FC Dallas for £2.5m after the 22-year-old was granted a work permit.

Shea, who scored 19 goals in 98 games for the Major League Soccer side, has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract.

"Brek is a very, very exciting player, and one who we believe could go on to become a very good player for Stoke," said Stoke manager Tony Pulis.

Hope he can regain his form. He has looked quite poor over the last year.

Yeah, he did not have a good season.

But he was also playing with a bone problem in his foot. He had surgery on it and is nearly recovered now, so hopefully he'll shortly be back to where he was before.
