Brown Deal Complete

Nigel Pearson has acted quickly to bring in his second player ahead of Leicester’s season back in the Championship. Wayne Brown has made his loan move from Hull permanent, signing a two-year contract with the Foxes, as revealed by Vital Leicester last Wednesday.

Brown joined Leicester from the Tigers back in January with a view to a permanent deal, and his consistent performances have persuaded Pearson to make his move.

Brown: ‘I am obviously delighted to have made the move permanent. Leicester City are a big club with an ambitious chairman, a good manager and a massive fanbase’.

Brown becomes Pearson’s second capture following the permanent signing of Liverpool’s Jack Hobbs on Friday.
