Stoke City defender Harry Souttar has signed a new four-and-a-half year deal and joined Scottish Premiership side Ross County on loan for the rest of the season.
The 19-year-old returns to Scotland to gain extra first-team experience, having joined Stoke from Dundee United in the summer of 2016.
Souttar made his first-team debut in the Carabao Cup win over Rochdale and has also played in their Checkatrade Trophy side this season.
Staggies boss Owen Coyle said: "We're delighted to bring a talented young centre half like Harry to the club.
"He's a real prospect with high hopes of playing at the top level with Stoke City.
"I think the fact that he has just signed a new four-and-a-half year contract shows how highly they rate him and we look forward to continuing his development at Ross County."
