Marcin Wasilewski has signed a new one-year contract with Premier League champions Leicester City.

Wasilewski has made over 70 appearances for Leicester since joining the club from Anderlecht in 2013.

The Polish centre-back played four times in the Premier League last season and nine matches in total, including scoring in the 2-2 FA Cup draw with Tottenham in January.

It is the third year running that the 36-year-old has committed to a one-year extension and he will continue to provide back-up to Wes Morgan and Robert Huth.

Wasilewski, capped 60 times by his country, played over 140 games for Anderlecht and his experience of playing in the Champions League will provide valuable as the Foxes play in the tournament for the first time.
