Stoke City forward Ryan Mmaee has joined Austrian side SK Rapid Wien on a season-long loan.

The 26-year-old Moroccan has made 27 Championship appearances and scored three goals for the Potters since joining from Hungarian side Ferencvaros in July 2023.

Mmaee's move comes at the end of a busy transfer window for Stoke who made 10 signings.

鈥淩yan is keen to secure as much game time as possible," said Potters sporting director Jon Walters.

"After speaking to (manager) Steven (Schumacher) about the likely opportunities this season, we believe it makes sense for all parties for him to take the opportunity to go out on loan in pursuit of the regular first team football he desires.鈥
