Academy

Leicester City’s academy has developed some of the brightest talents in English football.

The likes of Gary Lineker, and more recently, Ben Chilwell, Harvey Barnes, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall all began their careers as young Foxes before establishing themselves as Leicester first-team regulars.

But what about the current crop of academy talent right now? Competing in the Premier League 2 under Leon McSweeney, the youngsters also participate in the Bristol Street Motors trophy alongside League One and League Two clubs.

They play and train at the club’s Seagrave training centre – which is regarded as one of the best facilities in European football.
