Stoke City have completed the signing of Austrian international defender Moritz Bauer.
The 25-year-old right back has signed a four-and-a-half year contract after joining for an undisclosed fee.
Moritz Bauer is the Club’s first signing of the January transfer window.
Chief Executive Tony Scholes said: “Moritz is a player we have been trailing for some time and was someone Mark Hughes wanted to bring into the Club.
“Moritz came over to England last week to undergo his medical and discuss terms and we have now been able to conclude his transfer.
“He’s a very highly-regarded player who broke into the Austrian senior side last year and he adds to the defensive resources at our disposal.”
Although he represents Austria, Bauer was born in Switzerland and launched his career with Grasshoppers Zurich, making more than 90 league appearances for them.
He joined Rubin Kazan in 2016 and played in 37 league games for the Russian Premier League side.
