Leicester's Premier League title-winning captain Wes Morgan, 37, will retire at the end of the season as Foxes chairman pays tribute to 'one of the club's greatest servants'... with fellow former champion Christian Fuchs also leaving

Leicester's Premier League title-winning captain Wes Morgan will retire at the end of the season.

The 37-year-old, who has struggled with a back problem this year, is ending a 19-year senior playing career.

Fellow title-winner Christian Fuchs is also leaving the King Power Stadium when his contract expires this summer.

Morgan skippered Leicester to their shock 5,000-1 Premier League win in 2016 and also helped them lift FA Cup for the first time in their history when he made a late substitute appearance in last weekend's 1-0 final victory over Chelsea.

Foxes chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: 'Wes has been one of Leicester City's greatest servants, leading the team through the club's most successful era and helping to set the standards that have pushed the club forward.
