The defender was part of the side that completed the fairytale triumph of winning the league in 2016.

The league title he earned with the Foxes was his third in his career, having won it twice at Chelsea.

He announced his retirement from football in 2019.

By the end of his career, Huth admitted he was “fed up” after becoming disillusioned with the game.

In 2022, he returned to Leicester City as he was appointed as the club’s loan manager.
