London - Promoted Leicester City have moved to strengthen their squad
for life in the Premier League next season by snapping up former
England central defender Matthew Upson on a free.
Leicester said on Friday the 35-year-old former Arsenal, West Ham United and Birmingham City player had agreed a one-year deal.
Upson,
who was capped 22 times for England, was out of contract with
Championship (second division) side Brighton and Hove Albion where he
had just been voted Player of the Season.
Leicester have also
signed goalkeeper Ben Hamer from Championship side Charlton Athletic and
striker Jack Barmby, the 19-year-old son of former England
international Nick Barmby, from Manchester United.
The Midlands club returned to the top flight following a 10-year absence after winning the Championship title last month.
