Newton back with Foxes

Leicester City manager Martin Allen is pleased to have brought Shaun Newton to the Walkers Stadium on a permanent basis after the former West Ham man's successful loan spell with the Foxes last term.
The 31-year-old scored once in nine games for City after joining the club in March.
Allen told the club's official website: "I've watched the DVDs of his games and in some matches he played well and in others not so well.
"But I had a chat with him and told him that I'd give him a one-year contract, that's it - take it or leave it.
"He'll be working for a longer deal because one-year contracts for professional footballers aren't great. You always want longer than that but I wasn't prepared to budge.
"So he's got to impress me and do well for himself to earn himself something better and if he helps get us promoted then he'll get well-rewarded. That's the bottom line."
