England Under 19 midfielder Nathaniel Wedderburn has joined Hereford United on loan until the turn of the year.
Wedderburn, 19, has first team experience after a three month loan at Notts County last season but has not made his Potters debut as of yet.
The highly rated academy graduate has struggled with minor injuries this season and a large squad that has hindered his chances in the reserve side.
Wedderburn has three England U19 caps, with the Three Lions winning all three games that they have had the defensive midfielder in the side.
