Stoke has signed Trinidad and Tobago striker Kenwyne Jones from Premier League rival Sunderland for a club-record 8 million pounds ($12.5 million).
The 25-year-old Jones signed a four-year contract.
The most Stoke had previously paid for a player was the 6 million pounds (then $10.1 million) it spent on defender Robert Huth a year ago.
Jones played on loan for Stoke in 2005 and was linked with teams including Liverpool and Tottenham before a knee ligament injury in June 2008 kept him out for five months and contributed to a loss of form.
