Leicester legend Wes Morgan announces retirement at end of season with fellow Foxes hero Fuchs also leaving club
PREMIER LEAGUE winning captain Wes Morgan has announced his retirement from football aged 37.
The Leicester defender famously lifted the title in 2016 to cap the Foxes' remarkable fairytale season.
Coming through the ranks at Nottingham Forest, he enjoyed a decade with his hometown club before a 2012 move to the King Power.
Morgan then led Leicester to the Championship and Premier League titles, as well as a first-ever FA Cup trophy earlier this month.
On Friday, the Foxes confirmed his decision to hang up his boots at the end of the campaign.
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.

Fuchs, 35, joined in 2015 and was the first-choice left-back of Claudio Ranieri's title winners - famously filming the players' reaction to being crowned champions.
The emergence of Ben Chilwell and, more recently, James Justin has seen the Austrian feature less in recent years.
While James, 29, was a key part of the 2014 Championship winning team but has spent the past year on loan at Coventry.
