Stoke City have signed former Bristol City goalkeeper Niki Maenpaa on a short-term deal.

The 35-year-old Finland international was a free agent after leaving Ashton Gate at the end of last season.

The Potters needed cover in the goalkeeping position after injuries to Angus Gunn and Adam Davies.

He is likely to go straight into Michael O'Neill's squad for Saturday's Championship match at struggling Sheffield Wednesday.
