Leicester's title-winning captain Wes Morgan will retire at the end of the season, the Foxes have announced.

The 37-year-old was out of contract in the summer while Christian Fuchs, who also lifted the Premier League in 2016, will leave the King Power Stadium as well.

Morgan led Leicester to their shock 5,000-1 title win and was also a late substitute in last Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup final win over Chelsea.

Midfielder Matty James, who has been plagued by injuries in the last five years, is also departing.

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.

'A big brother to everyone he has played with, a strong representative of the squad and a valuable source of counsel to managers and senior executives in the club, his contribution has been enormous.'
