Ryan attracted a number of admirers after a superb debut season in the Premier League and the giant defender will be one of City's most important players as they aim to build on last campaigns 12th place finish.
The 21-year-old was relatively unknown outside of Old Trafford when he joined the Potters on a season-long loan from Manchester United in the summer of 2007 but he did so well in his first five months at the Britannia Stadium that Tony Pulis moved to make the deal permanent in January 2008.
City agreed a deal of £2,000,000 with United but Ryan has proved a snip after establishing himself as a regular in the Premier League and in Stuart Pearce's England Under-21 squad.
