Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Mark Travers moves to Stoke City on loan

Stoke have signed goalkeeper Mark Travers on a season-long loan from Bournemouth.

The 24-year-old has made 70 appearances for the Cherries, starting all but one of their league matches in the promotion campaign to the Premier League in 2021-22.

The Republic of Ireland international also picked up the Championship golden glove award that season after keeping 24 clean sheets.

Technical director Ricky Martin told Stoke's website: "For a goalkeeper of his age to have already achieved what he has in the game is rare and remarkable.

"He has featured in international football, played in the Premier League and - perhaps most importantly - was a standout performer when Bournemouth got promoted a couple of seasons ago."

Travers added: "This is a great opportunity to test myself in the Championship again and I'm pleased to have had the interest from Stoke City."
