Justin’s move from boyhood club Luton Town sees him agree a five-year deal as he becomes the Club’s first signing of the summer.
The highly-rated, versatile defender will meet his new team-mates for the first time on Monday, as the Leicester City squad begin preparations for the 2019/20 season.
An FA Youth Cup Quarter-Finalist
A year after Leicester City’s Under-18s reached the semi-finals of the prestigious FA Youth Cup, Justin helped Luton Town to the last-eight, where they were eventually beaten 1-0 by Blackburn Rovers. Luton’s Under-18s beat Colchester United, Leyton Orient, Notts County, Oldham Atheltic and Preston North End en route to the quarter-finals. Justin played in every game and scored the first spot-kick during the penalty shootout win over Preston.
A century of appearances
At the age of just 21, the young defender has already played over 100 times for Luton in all competitions, including 52 appearances for the Hatters in the 2018/19 campaign. He made his professional debut for the club in May 2016 during a 4-1 victory over Exeter, and scored his first goal in the 4-1 win at Accrington Stanley 11 months later. Last term, he was on the scoresheet three times in the triumphs over Scunthorpe United, Plymouth Argyle and Bradford City.
Back-to-back promotions
Justin has experienced two memorable seasons in football, first winning promotion to League 1 in 2017/18 after a second-placed finish, before Luton won England’s third tier by three points. With the assistance of Justin, Luton’s back-to-back promotions mean they will play Championship football for the first time since 2007. Justin played in 43 of Luton’s 46 League 1 fixtures in 2018/19.
Silverware as a youngster
As an Under-11 in Luton’s academy, Justin didn’t have to wait long to taste success as he won the Aarau Masters in 2009. The youngster was part of the 10-man Luton squad that beat Bayern Munich 3-2 in the final in Switzerland, with 3,000 fans watching on. They emerged from a group that included Bayern, CSKA Moscow and Sachsen Leipzig, before Justin was on target in a 3-0 win over Werder Bremen. He also scored in the 2-1 victory over Zenit St Petersburg, before beating the Germans in the final.
International team-mates with a Fox
The right-back’s first international appearance came in August 2017, when he emerged from the substitutes’ bench to play alongside young Leicester City defender Darnell Johnson in England Under-20s’ 3-0 triumph over the Netherlands in Telford. A minute later, Johnson was on the scoresheet for the young Lions to round off the victory. Four days after the win, Justin made his full debut for England Under-20s in a goalless draw with Switzerland in Winterthur.
