Stoke City have confirmed the signing of England youth keeper True Grant from Manchester City.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old, who helped Manchester City win the FA Youth Cup in 2024, is the son of former Stoke player of the year Lee Grant<\/a> and he has signed a three-year deal at the bet365 Stadium.<\/p>\n Keeper coach Darren Behcet<\/a> has been keen to bring in the teenager to join the goalkeeping department alongside Viktor Johansson, Jack Bonham and Frank Fielding while Tommy Simkin is out on loan with Leyton Orient.<\/a><\/p>\n He started out in Derby County’s academy<\/a> but moved to Man City in 2018 when Grant Sr signed for Man Utd. He had trials with both Manchester clubs at the age of 12 and was left to decide himself which to choose.<\/p>\n He got his first taste of senior football last season when he signed on loan for Buxton, who he helped reach the National League North play-off final, which was a far removed experience from sitting on the bench for Pep Guardiola in the Champions League a season previously.<\/p>\n \u201cTrue has shown his quality at Manchester City and during his loan spell at Buxton, and he is regarded as one of the most promising young goalkeepers in the country,\u201d said sporting director Jon Walters.<\/p>\n \u201cDarren Behcet was keen to bring him in as part of a strong goalkeeping unit with Viktor Johansson, Jack Bonham and Frank Fielding, with Tommy Simkin also excelling whilst out on loan.<\/p>\n \u201cHis dad, Lee, was a hugely respected player here and a fantastic person too. We\u2019re delighted to welcome True into the Stoke City family, and I\u2019m sure he knows what it means to wear the badge.\u201d<\/p>\n Sky Sports discounted Premier League and EFL package<\/p>\n This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
