Leicester keeper Schmeichel: Quitting Man City best decision I made

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel says leaving Manchester City was the best career decision he ever made.

The move reignited Schmeichel's career and he returns to the big-time when the newly-promoted Foxes face Everton tomorrow.

Schmeichel said: "It was the best thing I've ever done. The best decision I ever made.

"I did not play for Manchester City and I had no prospects to play, so there was no reason to stay.

"I came to Notts County and I loved being there. It was great to play a full season and win the championship.

"Leeds was not as good an experience, but then I came to Leicester, and it has only been positive.

"I signed a four-year contract with Leicester this summer so my future for the next years is reasonably set.

"My ambitions right now is continue to play and hopefully stay in the Premier League."
