Leicester City have announced that Demarai Gray has committed his future to the Football Club.
Gray has signed a new contract to June 2021 at the King Power Stadium.
He has made 150 senior appearances for Leicester City since he joined the Foxes in January 2016 from Birmingham City.
He went on to help the team lift the 2015/16 Premier League title just five months later.
Gray was a key man for the Foxes during the 2-0 victory over Everton.
Speaking to LCFC TV, he said: “I’m very happy. Now I just want to kick on and keep doing what I’m doing. I want to be starting games and, for me to be doing that, I have to work hard in training.
“As a whole, we’re a good group and we have a good dressing room. Now I want to get my head down and keep kicking on for the team.
“For me personally, it’s now about developing as a player and the rest will take care of itself.”
Gray began his career with local side Birmingham City and would go on to make almost 80 senior appearances – including 50 Championship starts – before Leicester City swooped to secure his services in January 2016.
He made his debut for the Foxes away to Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup in January 2016, during which he assisted Marcin Wasilewski for a goal in a 2-2 draw at White Hart Lane.
I’m very happy. Now I just want to kick on and keep doing what I’m doing.Demarai Gray
