STOKE City midfielders Tom Soares and Nathaniel Wedderburn have moved out on loan ahead of today's 5pm deadline.

Soares has joined Championship side Sheffield Wednesday until the end of the year.

The 23-year-old has only started five Premier League games for Stoke since his £1.5m move from Crystal Palace at the end of the August 2008 transfer window.

He had a two-month loan in the Championship with Charlton last season.

Meanwhile England under-19 international Wedderburn, aged 18, has joined League Two side Hereford United on loan until January 4.

But Pulis says defender Leon Cort is going nowhere before the January transfer window.

Cort has reportedly been arousing the interest of Championship pacesetters Newcastle United.

But today Pulis disclosed: “Leon isn’t going anywhere. But when the window opens again in January, we’ll look at it again.

Tonight’s deadline puts a stop to all dealings until the window re-opens for a month for both loan and permanent transfers on January 1.
