Leicester City's Wes Morgan to retire at the end of this season
Morgan has played more than 750 professional games for club and country
The captain who led Leicester City to their astonishing Premier League title win and the first FA Cup in the club's history will hang up his boots after this Sunday's match against Spurs.
Morgan has made 324 appearances for the club in all competitions playing every minute of the title winning season.
The club have paid tribute to him saying "His name is written firmly into the history books at Leicester City and he will have the opportunity to continue his association with the Club into the future – adding his invaluable experience to the Club’s operations while shaping his own future pathway in the game. Wes will combine his work with the Club with his role as a member of the PFA Players’ Board, to which he was elected earlier this year."
The 37-year-old joined Leicester from Nottingham Forest in January 2012 and would go on to score 14 goals for the club.
Leicester City chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: “Wes has been one of Leicester City’s greatest servants, leading the team through the Club’s most successful era and helping to set the standards that have pushed the Club forward.
“A big brother to everyone he has played with, a strong representative of the squad and a valuable source of counsel to managers and senior executives in the Club, his contribution has been enormous.
“Wes has shown throughout his Leicester City career that he has a great deal to offer away from the pitch. I’m excited to see how we can help him shape his career after football and how the Club can continue to benefit from his experience, knowledge and passion for the game.”
