Defender Evans joins Leicester City

London, June 8: Former English Premier League champions Leicester City on Friday completed the signing of defender Jonny Evans on a three-year deal from West Bromwich Albion.

Evans, 30, netted five goals in 96 appearances for West Brom. He joned them in 2015 from heavyweights Manchester United, the BBC reported.

The Northern Ireland centre-back completed a medical at the King Power Stadium on Thursday.

West Brom dropped to the Championship at the end of this season and Evans had a clause in his contract which Leicester triggered after the relegation.
