Leicester City skipper Wes Morgan says he’s raring to go for the new Barclays Premier League season after an eventful and busy summer with Jamaica.

The defender competed against some of the world’s best teams in the Copa America in June before helping the Reggae Boyz reach their first-ever Gold Cup Final against Mexico last month – a massive achievement.

But now he has returned to Leicester, the focus is very much on the opening Premier League fixture against Sunderland at King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

And with new manager Claudio Ranieri taking the team, there’s plenty to look forward to for Morgan, who is keen to build on what has been a memorable year for him already.

“It has been a very long summer,” Morgan told Foxes Player HD. “There’s been a lot of football that I’ve had to play but it’s been a good experience and good to do something different and play in different competitions against different types of teams.

“It’s something that I may not get a chance to do again and I’ve really enjoyed it. At the same time I’m glad to be back and I’m ready and raring to go for Leicester City now.”
