Marc Albrighton

Ranger Rover


The midfielder looks really with happy his wheels and we don't see any reason why he shouldn't be.

Born in Tamworth, Staffordshire, England, the midfielder started his career at local side Mile Oak Monarchs, at the age of eight he was offered a trial with West Bromwich Albion, after being rejected by Albion he consequently signed for their local rivals Aston Villa in 1998. After coming up through the ranks and impressing with the under-18 squad and the reserves the midfielder was called up to the first team in July 2008 but had to wait for his competitive debut which came in a UEFA Cup match against CSKA Moscow in February 2009. He made his Premier League debut in the opening day of the 2009/10 season against Wigan Athletic at Villa Park. He became a first team regular in the 2010/11 season, making 33 appearances in all competitions with 6 goals to his name. He would continue to build with similar displays the following season registering 2 goals and 2 assists in 26 Premier League games. The next couple of years would not be kind to the midfielder, losing form and a lack of first team opportunities led to an unsuccessful loan spell at Wigan Athletic, his parent club decided to release him from his contract upon his return as Villa suffered relegation. In May 2014 the Englishman joined Leicester City on a a four year contract. He struggled to break in to the first team in his first season with The Foxes and narrowly escaped relegation as Leicester finished 14th in the table. The 2015/16 season will live long in the memory, under new manager Claudio Ranieri the Englishman enjoyed a new lease of life featuring in every (38) league game, he contributed 2 goals and 7 assists as a part of a team which made the impossible dream possible by winning the Premier League title, the clubs first ever in its history. The midfielder became a mainstay of the Leicester City first team playing in 67 out of 76 Premier League games over the next couple of seasons.
