Luke McNally: Stoke City sign Burnley defender on season's loan

Stoke City have made their 10th summer signing by bringing in defender Luke McNally on a season's loan from promoted Premier League side Burnley.

While Burnley were winning automatic promotion last season, the 23-year-old centre-back spent the second half of the campaign on loan at Coventry City.

He was on the losing side just twice, one of them being their 4-0 home defeat by Alex Neil's Stoke in April.

Stoke also tried to sign him during the January transfer window.

"Luke is a player we have been interested in for some time, having initially made contact with Burnley in January," said technical director Ricky Martin.
