Leicester City Football Club are delighted to announce that club ambassador, Alan Birchenall, has agreed to sign a new one year fixed term contract.
There has been plenty of speculation regarding 'The Birch's' future but everyone is extremely pleased that he will stay at the club.
Leicester City Chairman, Milan Mandaric, said:
"Birch has agreed to extend his contract, and will be assisting the commercial department in a greater capacity.
We are delighted to retain the services of Birch and I'm sure this will help the club by adding even greater support to our commercial and PR activities. He has been a great loyal servant to the football club and we are delighted that we have been able to conclude this agreement."
The Birch himself was thrilled to remain involved with the club:
"I would like to thank the club for overturning the retirement issue in allowing me to continue in my role as Club Ambassador.
I would also like to thank the fans, who have, as always, been brilliant.
Saturday will still be an emotional day for me as it is great to remain a part of the Leicester City family.
I am now looking forward to the supporters getting right behind Paulo in helping the club get back to the Premier League where we belong."
