Jonny Evans signs new contract with Leicester City

Jonny Evans has signed a new contract with Leicester City.

The Northern Ireland defender has agreed an extension with the Foxes to the summer of 2023.

Evans, 32, joined Leicester from West Bromwich Albion in June 2018 and has gone on to play over 300 times in the Premier League.

Speaking to LCFC TV, the former Manchester United player said: “I’m absolutely delighted to have signed. I’m delighted to commit myself to the Club, and delighted the Club have committed themselves to me.

“I’ve loved it here since the first day I came in. It’s a great atmosphere around the place and it’s a Club with a lot of ambition.

"The players are ambitious and the signings that they’ve made over the years, they’ve signed young, hungry players and it’s been great for me to come in alongside that and be a part of it.”

Evans has played 15 games for Leicester this season, with Brendan Rodgers' side sitting third in the Premier League table going into the New Year.

He has featured on 89 occasions in all competitions so far for the Foxes, scoring three goals.
