City defender Patrick Kisnorbo has signed a new deal with the Foxes that will keep him at the Walkers Stadium until at least the end of the 2008-09 campaign.
Kisnorbo, who joined Leicester from Hearts in June 2005, made 41 appearances during his first season with the club.
And manager Rob Kelly was impressed enough with what he saw to extend the players terms by a further year.
Kisnorbo said: "It's a big endorsement from the club to be handed a new deal less than 12 months after signing your old one and I'm very humbled by the gesture."
The Australian international began last season in midfield, but flourished when he was switched to centre half by then manager Craig Levein.
He will be part of the City squad that travels to Cheshire next week in preparation for pre-season friendly matches against Macclesfield Town and Stockport County.
