Stoke City have completed the signing of Ipswich Town defender Ben Johnson on a season-long loan.

The 26-year-old right-back becomes Stoke’s seventh signing of the summer as manager Mark Robins continues to reshape his squad ahead of a promotion push in the Championship.

Johnson joined Ipswich on a free transfer from West Ham in 2024 and has made 47 appearances for the club, including 27 starts, while also helping the Tractor Boys win promotion last season.
