Leicester City have recruited the services of former Bolton Wanderers favourite Bruno N';Gotty after the veteran French defender rejected the new contract which was put to him by newly promoted Birmingham City.

N'Gotty, who turns 36 later this month, spent five successful years with Bolton making over 200 appearances for the club before moving to Birmingham last summer along with defensive partner Radhi Jaidi.

He wasn't quite able to match the form of his Bolton days whilst at St Andrews, although he did put in a fantastic performance in front of the live television cameras as City demolished Newcastle United in the FA Cup earlier this year.

The big centre half becomes Martin Allen's first signing since taking over as Leicester manager and he will pen a two year deal after previously rejecting the one year option put to him by Birmingham.
