Leicester City have confirmed that defender Robert Huth will leave the club at the end of the season after not being offered a new deal.

Huth is out of contract at the end of the season and after being plauged with injuries this year, won't be offered a new deal by the 'Foxes'.

However, due to his contributions at the club, which included being part of the incredible Premier League winning team in 2015-16, Huth will be presented to the fans ahead of their match against Arsenal on Wednesday night.

The defender joined on loan from Stoke in January 2015, helping Leicester secure their league status that season. He would go on to sign a permanent deal and would make 93 appearances for the club, scoring six goals.

Vice-Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said about the centre-back: "Players like Robert have been so important to our Club in the last three years, not just for his qualities as a footballer, but for his qualities as a character.

"He’s a leader, a winner and a player whose commitment to the team has made him equally popular among our players and our supporters. His status as a Leicester City great is very much secure.”

It is unclear whether Huth will join another club or retire from the game.
