Maurice Edu has completed a permanent move from Stoke to Major League Soccer side Philadelphia Union.
The 28-year-old United States international midfielder spent the recent MLS season on loan to Philadelphia, making 31 appearances.
With the guarantee of regular football, Edu has wasted no time in signing a full-time contract with Union.
It brings to an end his nightmare time with Stoke with whom he made a single substitute appearance lasting nine minutes following a move from Rangers in August 2012.
