Leicester City have signed Ryan Bertrand, with the left-back signing a two-year contract.
The 31-year-old was a free agent after his contract with Southampton expired at the end of last season.
He told Leicester’s official website: “I’m really happy to be here. Joining Leicester really complemented my inner ambitions and what I still want to achieve in my career.
“Leicester have built something amazing over the years, especially since Brendan Rodgers has come in. It’s fantastic to be a part of this fantastic club and I’m going to give my all to try and do the fans proud.”
