Jonny Evans signs two-and-a-half year contract extension with Leicester City

Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans has signed a two-and-a-half year contract extension with Leicester City.

His current deal was set to run out this summer.

The ex-Manchester United defender, who turns 33 on Sunday, has made 87 appearances for the Foxes since joining from West Brom in 2018.

"It is a club that I didn't want to leave. I've enjoyed my time and I'm delighted to extend the deal," Evans told BBC Sport Northern Ireland.

Evans has become an integral part of Brendan Rodgers' side, helping them achieve Europa League qualification last season and the Foxes are again challenging strongly for a Champions League spot this term after narrowly missing out during the 2019-20 campaign.
