Despite being 32 years old, Matty Elliott will today sign a contract with Leicester City extending his stay here until 2005.

Despite turning down the initial contract that was offered, and calling it derisory and unacceptable via the press, the City captain and Scottish international has now agreed terms for a one-year extension to his current contract.

Seeing as it's only a year extension it would appear the sticking point may have been money then. Heaven only knows what he's on now.

Speaking on the club's official website, City boss Peter Taylor said:

"The events over the weekend were only a hiccup. I have always felt that Matty would sign a new contract and I am delighted that he has done.

"It's excellent news for everyone connected with the club only two days before the start of the season."
