JANI Viander has eft the Reebok to join Second Division promotion chasers, Stoke City.

The Finland international keeper, who had hoped to secure a permanent deal with Wanderers, cut his ties after completing a three-month loan from HJK Helsinki.

Viander, whose only senior appearance came in the 4-1 FA Cup win at Stockport, has completed a six figure transfer and signed a two and a half year contract.
