League One champions Leicester City have signed goalkeeper Chris Weale on a pre-contract agreement from Bristol City.

The 27-year-old finished last season on loan at Yeovil Town after finding first-team opportunities limited with the Robins.

Foxes boss Nigel Pearson told the club's official website: "Chris is a player who we have monitored and has been on our wish list for quite a while now.

"He has had limited opportunities at Bristol City and following a successful loan period at Yeovil Town, we are delighted to secure his services.

"Chris is desperate to succeed here at Leicester and we believe he has the ability and the mental strength to do just that."
