Academy striker Joe Dodoo has been rewarded for a fine season with Leicester City’s Under-18s and Under-21s by putting pen-to-paper on a new two-year deal with the Club.
The 17-year-old Nottingham-born forward has shone for the young Foxes this term, with his ability to operate effectively anywhere along the front line helping him earn a call-up to the England Under-18s squad for a friendly with Belgium in March.
The 2012/13 campaign has seen Dodoo help Trevor Peake’s Under-18s to the FA Youth Cup Fifth Round as well as playing a part in Steve Beaglehole’s Under-21s side’s march to the top of the Development League Two North – where he went on to score in the play-off semi-final against Cardiff at King Power Stadium.
Dodoo, who joined Leicester at the age of 11 before progressing through the Academy, also scooped the Players’ Player of the Year award as part of the Supporters Club awards this term.
