Fryatt has scored eight goals in League One this season

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson says he is thrilled by the performances striker Matty Fryatt is putting in for the club this season.

Fryatt is currently League One's second highest goalscorer with eight goals.

Pearson told BBC Radio Leicester: "He works phenomenally hard for the team and he makes himself chances because of his work rate as much as anything.

"We've got a number of quality players, certainly for this level and maybe the level above."

The frontman hit the target twice in the Foxes' 3-2 away win at Huddersfield on Saturday to take his tally to eight - one behind Bristol Rovers' Ricky Lambert.
