Signing Jack Butland from Birmingham City was a masterstroke by Stoke City
Jack Butland’s ascent to prominence was swift, earning a spot in England’s Euro 2012 squad despite limited experience with Birmingham City. His remarkable journey continued with a debut for the national team shortly before his competitive debut for Birmingham, showcasing his exceptional talent at a young age.
Transitioning to Stoke City, Butland initially served as a backup before emerging as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. Despite setbacks like injury and relegation, he remained a steadfast presence, delivering standout performances in the Championship while displaying loyalty to the club.
