    Andy Quy: 'Really dangerous from set-plays'

    Ex-Stoke City and Huddersfield Town goalkeeping coach Andy Quy says new Potters g Sorba Thomas will be a "real weapon" in the side's set plays next season.

    Thomas signed a three-year contract with Stoke on Saturday.

    "I was fortunate enough to work with Sorba at Huddersfield Town. An exciting talent, I have to say," Quy told BBC Radio Stoke.

    "Excellent on the ball going forwards, wants to take people on, get crosses in the box, he's got really good delivery from set plays.

    "He's one of those players who puts the ball on the money, puts the ball in the right space, asks questions of goalkeepers and certainly of defenders."

    Listen to Quy's full thoughts and more on BBC Sounds.
