FORMER Colchester United trialist Bayli Spencer-Adams has joined Premier League side Leicester City and has linked up with their academy side.

The young defender, who spent time with the U's as a free agent this summer and featured in a number of friendlies, will feature as a member of the Foxes' under-23 programme.

After signing for Leicester, he wrote on social media: 'Delighted to start this new chapter & sign for such a massive club. The hard work continues!'

 

Spencer-Adams spent the whole of pre-season with Colchester but did not sign a contract with them.

Ex-Watford defender Spencer-Adams, a former academy player at both Arsenal and Spurs, will now be looking to kick on with his career at Leicester.
