The Story in 60 Seconds

Leeds United defender James Justin has reflected on his departure from Leicester City, admitting he did not leave on the best terms following multiple relegations. Justin moved to Elland Road just over a year ago in a deal worth an initial £8m plus £2m in add-ons. He acknowledged that his final season with Leicester was difficult and that he had not performed to the best of his ability.
