Leicester City have signed striker Josh Gordon from non-league side Stafford Rangers, who occupy 14th spot in the seventh tier of English football.

The 22-year-old, who has netted 11 times in the Northern Premier League this campaign, put pen to paper on an 18-month deal at the King Power Stadium following a successful trial with the Foxes.

The move bears similarities to that of Jamie Vardy, who started his career with Stocksbridge Park Steels before moving to Halifax, Fleetwood and eventually Leicester.

Gordon broke the news of his move on Facebook, saying: "I am delighted to finally announce that I have officially signed for the English champions Leicester City.

"I'm looking forward to the beginning of this new chapter in my life, the hard work starts now."
