Wes Morgan: Leicester's Premier League-winning captain to retire at end of season

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

Former Jamaica international Morgan has made 324 appearances for Leicester in all competitions.

Manager Brendan Rodgers said he would be "forever grateful" for Morgan's "immeasurable support".

Leicester, who are bidding for a Champions League place, finish their season against Tottenham on Sunday (16:00 BST).

Morgan joined Leicester from Nottingham Forest in January 2012 and was named captain for the following season.

He played every minute in the Foxes' Premier League-winning season and scored a header in a 1-1 draw against Manchester United that took Leicester within touching distance of the title.
