Leicester Captain Wes Morgan signs new deal

Leicester City captain Wes Morgan has signed a new deal which will keep him at the King Power Stadium until the summer of 2019. 

The 32-year-old defender, who played every minute of the club's remarkable charge to glory, has committed his future to the club as he prepares for a title defence and Champions League football. 

Morgan said: 

"To commit my future to Leicester City is a wonderful feeling. Everyone knows how I feel about playing for this club and with my team-mates, so I'm proud to have the chance to carry on wearing the shirt long term. 

"Lifting that Premier League trophy was a moment I will never forget and it's still sinking in. 

"Now we've got to give it everything to defend it, as well as showing what we can do in the Champions League." 

"We all know that what we've got in that dressing room is something special, so I can't wait to get the new season started with the boys so we can once again give it our best for each other and for our fantastic supporters." 

Morgan  has made 196 appearances for the Foxes since joining them from Nottingham Forest in January 2012.
