Albrighton excited about fresh Leicester chance

Marc Albrighton is excited about his fresh start with Leicester City.

The winger joined the Foxes on a Bosman from Aston Villa.

"It was a bit of a shock when Villa told me they didn't want my services anymore," said the winger to the Leicester Mercury. "I wasn't expecting a massive bumper deal from Villa but, if I am honest, I was expecting something.

"I would have had to assess it anyway. I think the time had come for me to face a new challenge anyway.

"Sixteen years at a club is a long time and it is something to look forward to now.

"It is a new start, a fresh start for me and my family. I can't wait to get started."
