Leicester City full-back James Justin puts pen to paper on a long-term contract extension which will keep him at the club until 2026.

Leicester City defender James Justin has signed a new long-term contract with the club.

The 24-year-old has put pen to paper on a four-year extension which will keep him at the King Power Stadium until 2026.

Justin spent almost a year on the sidelines through injury before returning to fitness last month, and he has since established himself as a regular member of Brendan Rodgers's first team once again.

"I'm just happy to extend my stay here and hopefully I can see [the fans] cheering us on in every game we have at King Power Stadium and all the away games and hopefully in European competitions for the next few years," Justin told LCFC TV.

"There is only one place I want to be at now and that's Leicester City. They've put great faith in me over the past year when I've been out injured.

"It just shows what a great club Leicester is that they're willing to give me a new deal when I'm just returning from injury."

Justin has made 54 appearances for the Foxes since joining from Luton Town in 2019, scoring four goals.
