Leicester City captain Wes Morgan has been an absolute rock at the centre of the defence for Leicester this season. Morgan has led from the front in this stellar season and has never hesitated to put hos body on the line for his team’s cause.

The Jamaican has been ever present for Leicester City having incredibly played all 38 League games for the Foxes. The Captain also popped up with crucial goals during the campaign, his most notable one being the goal against Manchester United in the 1-1 draw which eventually won them the title.

Ranieri described his importance to the team in his own inimitable style when he said:

"Wes Morgan is Baloo of The Jungle Book. He is a big gentle bear who looks after all the lads. He does not speak so much but when he does speak, everybody listens. He is the perfect captain. I never knew anything about him before I came here. But I watched all the matches, I watched how solid, strong and intelligent he was".

Wes Morgan was an incredible captain for this amazing Leicester City squad this season.
