WES MORGAN has enjoyed a remarkable year with the highlight being the Premier League title win back in May.
But now the Jamaican defender has signed a sponsorship deal with rum company Captain Morgan to top his year and the special edition bottle even has the Leicester skipper on the label.
Morgan was a rock at the back for Leicester last season leading them to the Premier League title winning by 10 points ahead of second placed Arsenal.
Leicester only lost three games in their title winning campaign although this season's defence of their Premier League crown, has not quite gone to plan having already lost eight games.

The Champions League has been welcome rest bite for the champions, having won their group and now face Sevilla in the last 16, not a bad draw although the Spanish outfit have won the Europa League for the past three seasons and are a very experienced European team.

Morgan though will be hoping that the form that took Leicester all the way to glory last season, could help them spring a surprise in Europe just like the Nottingham Forrest of 1979 and 1980.
Hopefully the positive feeling of signing with Captain Morgan can give the Leicester centre back a boost and help him raise the spirits of his team mates as they will look to propel themselves up the Premier League table.
Morgan said of signing the sponsorship deal: ''Well this could be the best contract I've ever signed.''
Some of the contract details don't seem to be like any other: ''During the term, Wes Morgan shall be entitled to enter licensed premises and purchase a Captain and Cola beverage for each patron in attendance in accordance with the provisions below.
''Prior to ordering the beverages from the outlet, Wes Morgan shall turn to face the patrons, extend his arm to form a 'Y' and shout, 'There's only one Captain Morgan!'
''Patrons who are tempted to consume too much alcohol; should be told, 'Only anchors go overboard, please drink responsibly', and instead be offered water.''
