Leicester midfielder Matty James has signed a new four-year contract that will keep him at the club until 2021.
The 26-year-old has made over 100 appearances for Leicester and has started both the Foxes' Premier League games this season.
James joined Leicester from Manchester United in 2012 and went on to play a key role in the club's promotion to the Premier League as Championship winners in 2013/14.
He helped the team secure a dramatic survival the following season before he was sidelined with injury.
James battled his way back to form and fitness with the help of a highly successful loan spell with Barnsley last season.
He returned to Leicester's starting XI for the Premier League opener against Arsenal earlier this month, his first start for the club in 865 days.
On the international front, James played regularly for England U16s and U17s and captained England U19s at the 2009 European Championships.
The new deal comes on the day that the former Manchester United academy graduate returns to Old Trafford for Leicester's third Premier League game of the season.
