Stoke City have completed a deal to sign former Bristol City defender Aden Flint on a one-year deal.
The 32-year-old will join Michael O'Neill's side at the beginning of next month when his contract at Cardiff officially expires. Flint spent three years with the Welsh side making 38 league appearances last season.
Derby County were also interested in signing Flint but the experienced defender has opted to stay in the Championship for at least another year. The Rams' takeover debacle is also likely to have played a part in his final decision.
