Potters Sign New Keeper

Last updated : 15 February 2002 By Rob Stanway

With Ward out injured and Myhill re-called to Aston Villa, Stoke only had trialist Scott Bevan (From Southampton) as cover.

"This an important signing for us" Director of football John Rudge told BBC Radio Stoke.

"With the transfer deadline approaching and no guarantee when Gavin Ward will be fit to resume we had to be in position to have two senior goalkeepers on our books".

Here's what we know about him, taken from Stoke City MAD's player database!
