Hobbs loaned to Leicester

Liverpool center-back Jack Hobbs has signed a year-long deal with League One side Leicester City.

Hobbs was loaned out to Scunthorpe United last season, and turned out to be a success story. Now he hopes to enjoy the same form with Nigel Pearson’s Leicester City.

“I am really pleased to have signed and can’t wait to get started,” he said.

“Liverpool have some world-class centre backs so I spoke to the boss and he said I was free to go out on loan and gain some experience.

“Leicester showed their interest and I had no hesitation in coming here. This is a massive club with a good manager and top class Premier League facilities.

“I want to help this club get back to the Championship at the first time of asking.” he added.
