Incredible With Me – Leicester City New Boy Pleased With Foxes Welcome
The 30-year-old centre-back joined Leicester City on a three-year deal from Wolves for a transfer fee in the region of £7.5m.
Coady, who has experience of playing in the Championship, will be determined to help Leicester get back to the Premier League next season.
The centre-back admitted that he became interested in joining the Foxes from the moment he got to know about Leicester’s interest and stressed that the first week of training has been very tough.
Coady also stated that the players and the manager have been very good to him and stated their goal to become as fit as possible before the season starts.
He also added that he knows from experience how hard the Championship is and stated that they have to take one game at a time approach to reach their goal.
“First and foremost, being given the opportunity to play for Leicester City was something that I really wanted to take”, Coady told Sky Sports.
“It was something I really wanted to do during the summer when I first heard about the interest.
“The first week has been really tough, I will be honest, really, really tough.
“The manager’s been fantastic, the players have been incredible with me.
“We’re really looking forward to the start of the season.
“We’re trying to get as fit as possible, but we know how tough the season is going to be.
“We all know it; I certainly know it from playing in it before, but it’s about taking it a game at a time, listening to the manager as much as we can in pre-season and hopefully hitting the start of the season as hard as we can.”
Now all eyes will be on the 30-year-old defender to see whether he will be able to get into Maresca’s starting line-up for Leicester’s season opener against Coventry City on 6th August.
