Leshabela 'needs to experience men's football' after leaving Leicester City

The youngster has been a regular fixture for the Foxes U23 side before opting to seek challenge elsewhere albeit on loan

South African youth international Khanya Leshabela believes it is time for him to experience "men's football" after sealing a loan move to Shrewsbury Town from Leicester City.

The 21-year-old midfielder has been a regular for the Leicester U23 side, and with chances of getting a senior team spot limited, he opted to play for League One outfit to continue his development.

"I'm just grateful to be given the opportunity to start off my career in men's football," Leshabela said as quoted by ShropshireStar.
