Leicester City have confirmed the signing of Republic of Ireland international Jason McAteer.
The 33-year-old, who was released by Sunderland at the end of the season, has agreed an initial 12-month deal at The Walkers Stadium.

The Foxes have already agreed deals for Gareth Williams and Danny Tiatto as they look to bounce back to The Premiership at the first time of asking.

"Jason is a player who has operated at the top level and brings a wealth of experience to the club," said Foxes boss Micky Adams.

"He is an excellent player and we have had to beat off many other clubs for his signature.

"With the arrival of Gareth Williams and Danny Tiatto it means we have significantly strengthened our midfield. There will be several more new faces yet elsewhere into the squad and our search continues."

i think he will be a good signing for leicester....they need to get as many new faces in as they can and mcateer is an ideal signing for them

The problem will be to keep him on the pitch! he was becoming a liability towards the end of the season with some wild tackling and had to be substituted regularly to stop being sent off.

yeah....he can go a bit mad sometimes...nothing wrong with a bit of passion, but he can go a little mad
