Conor Coady blown away by one 'incredible' thing he's experienced since being at Leicester

Conor Coady has been blown away by one ‘incredible’ thing he’s experienced since joining Leicester City last summer.

Leicester outlaid £8.5m on Coady last summer, joining from Premier League outfit Wolves on a three-year contract.

The 31-year-old sustained a fractured foot in pre-season and missed the start of the campaign, allowing Jannik Vestergaard a chance to resurrect his City career.

The Denmark international took his chance and kept Coady out of the side for the majority of the season but despite not playing as much as he would’ve hoped, he’s been an integral part of the dressing room.

Speaking after sealing the Championship title against Preston North End last night, he revealed what has surprised him at Leicester.

After The Foxes’ convincing 3-0 away victory at Deepdale, Coady spoke to BBC Radio Leicester and hailed the close-knit dressing room.

“Listen, you see the celebration with the owner and everybody, I can’t get over how close this football club is,” the former Wolves captain admitted.

“I think it’s absolutely incredible and listen the boys have been absolutely incredible this year.”

Having been at Liverpool, Sheffield United, Huddersfield Town, Wolves and Everton prior to his City endeavour, it’s clear he’s experienced a number of great dressing rooms.

But evidently, the atmosphere at Seagrave and the relationship with the owner has completely blown him away.

It’s a special club and many that depart tend to leave as Foxes fans due to the incredible harmonious spirit around the place.

Conor Coady was immense against Preston North End

The performance itself against Preston has gone under the radar, somewhat, with the focus very much on the Championship title.

But it’s important to note, that it was one of the best away displays of the season, with City taking total control from the first whistle.

Coady, who made only his eighth league start of the season, was an assured presence at the back and his statistics were very impressive. Here they are, as per Sofascore.

  • 90 minutes
  • 84 touches
  • 92% accurate passes
  • 1 tackle
  • 1 blocked shot
  • 1 clearance

His leadership is also worth noting, as he was a constant voice throughout, ushering his teammates on.
