    Ryan Mmaee has left Stoke City with immediate effect after two years at the Bet 365 Stadium.

    The 27-year-old forward spent the first half of last season on loan at Austrian club Rapid Wein but his spell was disrupted with injury and, after failing to make a single appearance, he returned to Stoke in February.

    During his first year with the Potters, Mmaee was made to train with the club's Under-21 side for disciplinary reasons by then manager Steven Schumacher.

    In total, the Moroccan international scored five goals in 31 games for Stoke following his move from Hungarian club Ferencvaros in the summer of 2023.
