Leicester defender, Frank Sinclair, has signed an extension to his existing contract.

The 29 year old is now committed to The Foxes until 2004. Sinclair, who joined the Foxes from Chelsea in August 1998 for £2 million, agreed the three-year deal on Thursday.

The Jamaican international told the club's website:

"I can now enjoy the summer break and look forward to a strong pre-season during which I will make my case for a place in Mr Taylor's team.

"The injuries I sustained meant that last season was a frustrating one for me but I am pleased to sign a new contract with the club."

Peter Taylor added:

"I am delighted that Frank has committed his future to Leicester City. "He is an important and influential member of our squad."
