Winger Marc Albrighton has signed a new contract with Leicester City FC until the 2024 season. The club announced the contract extension of Albrighton on Friday, 30th July.

The experienced winger, who was in the final year of his deal, recorded 42 matches across all competitions last season, including a start in the FA Cup final triumph against Chelsea, therefore re-signing him this summer was a high priority.

Leicester have officially confirmed that Albrighton has signed a new three-year contract with the Foxes that will keep him at the club until 2024.

Marc Albrighton has been a mainstay since arriving at Leicester City in 2014, and he was a key member of the team that won the Premier League championship in 2015/16, and he has continued to play a key role since Brendan Rodgers took over.

Since his transfer from Aston Villa seven years ago, he has distinguished himself as one of Leicester City’s most reliable contributors, recording a total of 253 matches for the club. His efforts on both extremities of the field, as well as his tireless work ethic, have made him an indispensable member of the Foxes’ squad.

He netted the team’s first-ever UEFA Champions League goal away at Club Brugge, and then scored the game-winning goal against Sevilla to secure a place in the quarter-finals later in the campaign.
