Premier League-winning former Leicester City captain Wes Morgan has been appointed to the board of anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out.
Morgan, 39, guided the Foxes to their first Premier League title in 2016.
"I'm looking forward to working with Kick It Out at a time when attempts to tackle discrimination are gathering pace," said Morgan.
Last season Kick It Out received a 65% rise in reported incidents of discriminatory behaviour.
In July the organisation said it received a record-high 1,007 reports from grassroots level, the professional game and across social media.
Morgan said: "Although there are still some areas to tackle, we have seen the power of greater diversity among professional players in the men's game.
