Liam Delap was in the stands at the bet365 Stadium on Wednesday to see Stoke salvage a point against Middlesbrough thanks to a late equaliser from former Manchester City youngster D'Margio Wright-Phillips.
Delap, 19, was in Stoke ahead of a season-long loan move, with the Potters winning the race to sign the prolific youth-level striker ahead of a number of Championship and Premier League sides. He will now be looking to get regular games at a club who developed City teammate Taylor Harwood-Bellis last season before his switch to Burnley for this campaign.
There will be plenty of expectant eyes on Delap this year after his blistering form for City's youth teams over the last three years, and a frustrating campaign last year that was hampered by injuries. Now, he will link up with his father Rory, a Stoke hero, who is a first-team coach at the Potters.
