Jamaican international denied Stoke City move 
13:06 August, 30, 2007
Defender Rudolph Austin has been refused a work permit to join the Potters
A fee had been agreed with the 21-year-old's club Portmore United after an impressive trial spell.
"It's a big disappointment. The case was thrust upon us and so we didn't have time to prepare for it," said Stoke's assistant manager, Dave Kemp.
"He's trained brilliantly and been very impressive. He's fully fit now and back in the Jamaican national team, but because of the injury he missed three Gold Cup qualifying games and so didn't meet the necessary criteria for being considered a regular international.
"He will be very disappointed, but we will keep tabs on him and hopefully we can do something in the future."
