Jordan Thompson has been capped seven times by Northern Ireland

Stoke City have signed Northern Ireland midfielder Jordan Thompson for an undisclosed fee from Blackpool.

The 23-year-old, who has made 67 appearances for Blackpool since joining from Scottish side Rangers in the summer of 2018, has signed a two-and-a-year deal with the Potters.

Stoke boss Michael O’Neill gave Thompson his first international cap when he was Northern Ireland manager.

“He’s a very talented left-footed player,” said O’Neill.
