Stoke sign midfielder Olofinjana

Olofinjana was Wolves' top scorer in the 2006/07 season

Stoke City have signed Wolves' Nigerian international midfielder Seyi Olofinjana for £3m on a four-year deal, subject to a work permit.

The 28-year-old, who was on the Wolves transfer list at his own request, had been a target for Stoke's Premier League rivals Hull City.

It is believed there was a clause in his deal that allowed him to talk to top-flight clubs who bid £3m for him.

He will join up with his team-mates on Monday when they return from Austria.

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy told his club's website: "He's been fantastic to work with - a really good player. I always knew of his desire to play in the Premiership and this is a terrific signing for Stoke. I wish him well."
