Stoke City completed the signing of England among the 19 international goalkeeper True Grant of Manchester City.
The 19-year-old Stopper, who regularly characterized the citizens' elite development Squad, has written a three-year contract in ST4.
Previously with the Academy of Derby County, Grant moved to the Etihad -Campus and, two seasons ago at the age of 12, was part of Pep Guardiola's UEFA Champions League -Squadrons.
True, who is the son of Lee Grant of former Potters' Player of the Year, played 40 times for Buxton in his first senior loan last season and helped the bucks to end at the National League North Play-Off places.
“True has shown his quality in Manchester City and during his loan spell at Buxton, and he is considered one of the most promising young keepers in the country,” said sports director Jonathan Walters.
“Darren Behcet wanted to bring him in as part of a strong goalkeeper unit with Viktor Johansson, Jack Bonham and Frank Fielding, with Tommy Simkin also excel while they are on loan.
“His father, Lee, was here a hugely respected player and also a fantastic person. We are pleased to welcome True to the Stoke City family, and I am sure he knows what it means to wear the badge.”
