Leicester City are helping title-winning right-back Danny Simpson as he searches for a new club.

City released Simpson this summer but are continuing to offer their support by providing him with fitness regimes, ensuring the 32-year-old remains in fine condition ahead of a potential return to the Premier League.

Simpson spent five years at the King Power Stadium but was replaced as City’s first-choice right-back by Ricardo Pereira last season, and this summer, the club chose to let the former Manchester United defender go, bringing in £6m starlet James Justin as support.

But City remain appreciative of Simpson’s commitment over half a decade and are keeping him fit ahead of the new campaign.

“(Pre-season) has been going well,” Simpson told Sky Sports News. “It’s unusual to not be going back to a team in pre-season on the first of July, but I’ve been out in Dubai at a training camp with a lot of other lads, like Jeff Schlupp and Daniel James.

“I’m back in Manchester now, training. I’m also in contact with Leicester still. They’re giving me certain sessions to do to keep me fit and I’ll probably do another training camp this weekend.

“It gave me confidence that Daniel James was there (in Dubai), because he’s gone to United and he’s one of the fittest players there, winning all the tests. So it shows it was a good camp and that we worked hard.

“I’m still in contact with Leicester and the fitness coaches there doing certain sessions that they’ve been telling me to do, which they’ve expected the other lads to do from Leicester.”

In his search for a new club, Simpson is looking for the “right fit” and is hopeful of remaining in the English top flight.

“The Premier League is the Premier League,” he added. “You want to play against the best players in the world week in week out. My representatives are speaking to people and it’s just got to be the right fit for me and the club.

“I’ve let my representatives know that I’m fit and when something gets sorted I’ll be walking in on day one and be ready to go.”
