The 34-year-old goalkeeper, son of Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel, began his career with the Manchester City U18s. He stayed with the City reserves side till 2007 and went out on loan to three clubs in the period: Darlington FC, Bury FC and Falkirk FC. He then earned a move to the Manchester City main squad but never nailed down the #1 spot as he went out on loan spells again.

Across his career, he has made 591 club appearances: with 247 of those coming in the Premier League, 198 in EFL Championship and 76 in League Two. He has turned out 426 times for his current club Leicester City, winning an FA Cup in the recently concluded 2020/21 season and a fairytale Premier League victory in the famous 2015/16 season.
