DONE DEAL: Leicester land Wolves defender Conor Coady

Leicester City have completed the signing of Wolves defender Conor Coady.

Coady moves to the Foxes on a three-year contract.

“I've played against the Club numerous times and it's so, so hard playing against Leicester City," said Coady.

“That's something we need to take into the season. I'm absolutely over the moon to be here. I couldn't wait to get down here, obviously to see everyone and get everything signed and boxed off. Now I'm here, I'm massively excited.

"I've been massively excited all summer to be fair and it's something I was desperate to get done.

“I've had enough time off now. I'm ready to get going. I can't wait to meet the lads and get into the dressing room with the boys and get on the training pitch with the gaffer and start listening to how we're going to go about things this season. It's a huge season and at the same time it can be a really, really good one.

“Knowing a few of the lads here as well and how they speak of the Football Club, not just that, but looking at Leicester City as a whole, it's such an exciting place to be. I know a few of the boys from playing for England in the past. I played with Alex Smithies at Huddersfield in the past and I knew Wardy (Danny Ward) growing up. I played with Barnesy (Harvey Barnes) with England, so there's quite a few of the lads I know already, but I can't wait to get involved, to get into the dressing room with all the lads and get going.

“I'm massively excited about joining, so it wasn't a hard decision. As soon as I heard of the interest, it was something I wanted to pursue. I can't wait to get started."
