Leicester City have handed a new contract to Richard Stearman.

The 18-year-old defender still had two years left on his current deal at The Walkers Stadium, but he has impressed enough to earn a fresh extension.

Stearman is a product of The Foxes' own academy and he has already featured 18 times for the club.

He has now been handed a three-and-a-half year deal which will see him tied to Leicester until 2009.
