"I have known Lee for 10 years and I had no hesitation in recommending him to (chairman) Milan Mandaric,'' said Aldridge.

"He knows the industry inside-out and in my opinion he will be a great asset to Leicester City Football Club.

"He has experience of this division from his time with Fulham and he oversaw something of a revolution at Craven Cottage. I wish Milan, Lee and the club every success for the future.''
