Leicester have extended midfielder Matt Oakley's contract until June 2012. The 33-year-old has been club captain for the last three seasons and will remain a part of manager Sven-Goran Eriksson's plans for next term. Eriksson told the club's official website: "I am very happy we have agreed an extension with Matt. "He is not only a good football player but he is an excellent professional. "It is important for us to have people like Matt around the club, especially as we often have a young team out on the pitch. "He has a positive influence on his colleagues and his experience in the game will be invaluable for us."
