Leicester City have completed the permanent signing of Liverpool defender Jack Hobbs.

The former Lincoln City player had spent the season on loan with the League One club.

The 20-year-old told his new club: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my season with the club and I am absolutely delighted to make the move permanent.

“This is a massive club and I believe we can go all the way to the Premiership. That’s one of the reasons why I have committed to signing a four year deal.

“I couldn’t be happier here. Leicester have shown great faith in me and instilled me with great confidence. I really am over the moon.”
