Worley initially joined the Foxes on loan until the end of the season in March.

After impressing during his brief spell at the Walkers Stadium, in which he made a substitute appearance against Sheffield United and his full debut during Sunday's ill-fated goalless draw at Stoke which saw City relegated, the Foxes have moved to snap up the teenager.

Worley told the club's official website: "Leicester City is the club for me and I am more than happy to be here.

"Obviously relegation is a blow, but I am still young and enthusiastic and am determined to play my part in helping the club get back up to the Championship at the first time of asking."
