HOBBS SEALS FOXES MOVE
Jack Hobbs has made his loan spell at Leicester City permanent and penned a four-year deal with the Foxes.
The 20-year-old defender has spent this season on loan at Nigel Pearson's side and helped them win promotion to the Championship.
Hobbs has joined the club for an undisclosed fee.
Speaking ahead of the club's final home league game of the campaign against Scunthorpe tonight, Hobbs said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my season with the club and I am absolutely delighted to make the move permanent.
"This is a massive club and I believe we can go all the way to the Premier League. That's one of the reasons why I have committed to signing a four-year deal.
"I couldn't be happier here. Leicester have shown great faith in me and instilled me with great confidence. I really am over the moon."
Hobbs signed for Liverpool in August 2005 on his 17th birthday despite playing just three minutes of professional football for Lincoln City.
He was made captain of the reserves during his first season on Merseyside, and also played a key part of the FA Youth Cup winning side of 2006, establishing himself as a rock at the back.
The tall defender made his senior debut as a last-minute substitute during a 4-2 Carling Cup win at Reading on September 25, 2007.
He made five appearances in total for the Reds.
All the best for the future Jack.
