​Leicester midfielder Kasey McAteer targets first team chance

Leicester City attacking midfielder Kasey McAteer is hoping to crack into the first-team this season.

The 20-year-old, who made his Leicester debut last December, spent the second-half of the season at League Two side Forest Green.

"It's a completely different world," McAteer told the club's website. "It's like the top, top level and Brendan and his staff have been absolutely amazing with me for my confidence and for my football to kick on. They've shown interest in me and hopefully in the future I can repay back what they've given me.

"Two wins out of two, I'll take it! It was just an honour to put on the shirt and step out in front of 32,000 people at King Power Stadium. It was a dream come true.

"I now just want to hit pre-season from day one, build my fitness back up and my strength, impress the senior staff and hopefully get a few appearances in the friendly games in pre-season. That's my aim."
