Brendan Rodgers says Leicester City's players have vindicated his decision to leave Celtic.

The Northern Irishman walked away from Celtic and a potential treble in February to join the Foxes.

"I can only really comment from the period I've come in," he said.

"I left an incredible club. I did that for a reason and the reason was to come to work with the players here.

"They're better than what I thought, seeing them close up, but they're also hungry. They're not just good players, they want to do well.

"So if we can keep them together where possible and then add bits of quality that the team needs then we can look to push on again next season.

"They've been a joy to work with. The support… you get a real sense of the club here, it's a real community club and I'm really happy to be here."
