Wilcox Agrees New Terms
Jason Wilcox has agreed a new one-year deal with Leicester City.
The 33-year-old former England international's current contract was due to expire at the end of June.
But Wilcox has jumped at the chance to remain at the Walkers Stadium for another season and is desperate to play a full part in the club's 2005/06 Championship promotion push.
The experienced winger moved to the East Midlands in July from Leeds United but managed only 15 appearances last term after damaging his cruciate ligament during the 1-1 at Coventry in October.
And manager Craig Levein is delighted that the ex-Blackburn man has agreed new terms and pledged his short-term future to the Foxes.
Levein said: "I am pleased that Jason has agreed a new deal and I am sure he will prove to be an integral part of our squad next season.
"He is a model professional and showed a lot of grit and determination in bouncing back from his latest injury set-back. Retirement never once crossed his mind.
"Jason is the kind of player that you want in the dressing room and once all the relevant paperwork has been completed then I'll look forward to welcoming him back with the rest of the lads for pre-season training on July 1."
