Leicester captain Morgan delighted Rodgers wants him to stay

Leicester City captain Wes Morgan says they have an exciting future ahead under manager Brendan Rodgers.

Rodgers has confirmed he wants Morgan - whose contract expires at the end of the season - to stay at the King Power Stadium.

The 35-year-old centre-back is enjoying life under Rodgers, and said: "The gaffer's been brilliant. He's spoken to me. He likes experienced players. I've been at the club a long time and he made it clear he wants me around - I'm on the gaffer's side!

"He's been a real breath of fresh air. He's got a style and identity of how he wants things to work. It will take time, but we'll get there in the end and be a force to be reckoned with."
