Japanese midfielder Tatsuki Seko has left Stoke City to join J1 League side Urawa Reds for an undisclosed fee.
The 28-year-old returns to Japan after two seasons in the Championship with the Potters, having arrived from Kawasaki Frontale in the summer of 2024.
He played 75 times for Stoke across all competitions, but has not featured in the early weeks of the latest campaign.
“Tatsuki and his family were open to exploring a return home and, after we reached an agreement with Urawa, he leaves with our gratitude for his commitment as a Stoke City player,” Stoke’s sporting director Jonathan Walters told the club website., external
