Let’s revisit the players who powered Leicester City’s remarkable campaign to secure promotion to the Premier League in 2014/15, clinching the Championship title with six games to spare.
Kasper Schmeichel
Goalkeeper Schmeichel joined Leicester in 2011 and was a mainstay in goal for the Foxes for over a decade. In 2022, he moved to Nice, where he continues to ply his trade.
Ritchie De Laet
The Belgian defender left Leicester for Aston Villa in 2016 but struggled for regular minutes. In 2019, he returned to Belgium to join Royal Antwerp FC, where he remains a key figure.
Paul Konchesky
The English left-back was a cornerstone during Leicester’s Championship days, making nearly 150 appearances for the Foxes. He moved to Gillingham in 2016 and later joined East Thurrock United in 2018, only to retire a month later.
Danny Drinkwater
Drinkwater played a pivotal role in Leicester’s 2014 promotion. His performances earned him a move to Chelsea in 2017, but his form plummeted. He is currently a free agent.
Wes Morgan
Captain Wes Morgan, a Leicester stalwart since 2012, saw his playing time dwindle at 37. In May 2022, the club announced his retirement from professional football.
Dean Hammond
The English midfielder was loaned to Sheffield United in 2015, who later signed him permanently. Hammond retired in 2017 but briefly returned to play for Worthing FC in 2020 before hanging up his boots again.
Matty James
The former Manchester United youth product made over 100 appearances for Leicester. In the summer of 2021, he signed a three-year deal with Bristol City.
Jamie Vardy
Leicester’s legendary striker, with the club since 2012, has played over 400 matches and scored more than 160 goals. By the 2022/23 season, age began to slow him down, but his legacy endures.
Andy King
A product of Leicester’s academy, King broke into the first team in 2006 and stayed until 2020, when he joined OH Leuven. He now plays for Bristol City.
Lloyd Dyer
At 38, the English winger was still playing for Burton Albion in League One during the 2020/21 season. He announced his retirement at the end of that year.
Jeffrey Schlupp
Schlupp left Leicester for Crystal Palace in 2017 and has since made 187 appearances for the Eagles, becoming a reliable presence in their squad.
Liam Moore
A Leicester academy graduate, Moore debuted for the first team in 2011. Often loaned out to lower-tier clubs, he joined Reading FC in 2016, where he has made 230 appearances.
Gary Taylor-Fletcher
The English striker retired in 2019 while playing for Blackpool, marking the end of a journeyman career.
Ignasi Miquel
The Spanish defender was on loan at Leicester from Arsenal in 2013/14 but saw limited action. He now plays for Granada in his native Spain.
Anthony Knockaert
The French winger, with Leicester from 2012 to 2015, is currently a key player for Fulham.
Riyad Mahrez
A linchpin in Leicester’s promotion, Mahrez’s flair was instrumental. He joined Manchester City in 2018 and remains a vital part of Pep Guardiola’s setup.
Marcin Wasilewski
The Polish defender left Leicester in 2017 to join Wisla Krakow in his homeland. He retired in early 2020 at age 40.
Kevin Phillips
Leicester signed the veteran English striker on a short-term deal in January 2014. He retired at the end of the 2013/14 season.
David Nugent
The English striker left Leicester in 2015. Last season, he was on loan at Tranmere Rovers from Preston North End. After his contract expired, he became a free agent.
Chris Wood
After leaving Leicester, Wood played for Leeds, Burnley, and Newcastle. He has scored 55 Premier League goals to date.
