Accrington have signed German centre-back Stephen Sama on a two-year deal.

Sama, 27, joined Liverpool as a teenager in 2009 but failed to make a senior appearance in five years with the Reds before moving back to Germany with VfB Stuttgart.

He has spent the past two seasons with Heracles in the Dutch top-flight.

Sama's move is subject to international clearance and he is not available for Stanley's Carabao Cup game against Burton Albion on Friday.
