SOLIHULL Moors have completed the signing of teenage midfielder Darius Lipsiuc from Stoke City on loan.
The 19-year-old has played for the Republic of Ireland at under-21 level and spent time on loan at Walsall last season.
Lipsiuc will remain with Moors until January.
The Dublin-born midfielder began his career with St Patrick’s Athletic and made his first team debut for Stoke in a Carabao Cup tie against Fleetwood Town in September 2024.
Moors head coach, Matt Taylor said: “He’s a real prospect.
“A lot of clubs were monitoring his progress in Ireland and having chosen Stoke he has been well looked after and has settled into life at Stoke really well.
“He is a regular member of the Republic of Ireland under-21 squad and will be looking to get regular senior football to develop his game as he enters the next stage of his career.
“He has plenty of energy, he likes to get on the ball and makes things happen.
“We are delighted that he chose to join Solihull ahead of potential league moves and we are looking forward to working with him.”
Lipsiuc said: “It’s a great set up and I’m really excited to be here.
“The way the manager likes to play should really suit my style and there are some really good players here.
“Everything I have seen here points towards a club aiming for success and I would love to play a part in getting us there.”
