Liverpool defender Jack Hobbs has joined League One side Leicester on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old has made five senior appearances for the Reds.

"Liverpool have some world-class centre-backs so I spoke to the boss [Rafael Benitez] and he said I was free to gain some experience," said Hobbs.

"I can assure everyone that I will be giving 100%. I want to help Leicester get back to the Championship at the first time of asking."
