Alex Smithies: Leicester City sign former Cardiff keeper on free transfer

Former Cardiff goalkeeper Alex Smithies has joined Leicester City on a free transfer - their first summer signing.

Smithies, who left Cardiff in the summer after his contract expired, will bolster the goalkeeping ranks following Kasper Schmeichel's departure to Nice.

"I've played against quite a lot of the lads, so I'm sure I'll fit in well," Smithies said.

"I've played a lot of games in my career, the majority of them in the Championship, and my role here might be a little different. I might be more of a team player, supporting and being ready to step in as soon as I'm asked to," he added.
