Former England striker Michael Owen is relishing the next chapter in his career after joining Stoke City on a one-year contract.

"I'm now looking forward to contributing as much as possible to the club and can't wait to play in front of a great set of supporters. "Thanks for your kind messages everyone. Can't wait to get going again!"
Squad lists
The uncertainty over Owen's switch meant the Premier League were only able to release details of squad lists for 19 of their 20 clubs, with the Potters' still pending. It is understood Stoke would otherwise be prevented from filling Owen's spot with another player if his move was rejected. Clubs are able to sign free agents outside the transfer window but are only able to field them in the Premier League if they have previously registered fewer than 25 players. The Premier League said in a statement: "The Premier League board is currently considering an application from Stoke City to register a player and, subsequently, their squad list will be confirmed at a later date."
