7 Footballers To Play For Both NUFC And Leicester City

2. Danny Simpson

Newcastle United: 2009-13 League Appearances: 123 League Goals: 1 Leicester City: 2014- League Appearances: 14 League Goals: 0

The only player on the list who is still playing, Danny Simpson came up through the ranks at Manchester United but, following loan spells elsewhere, a temporary switch to Newcastle in 2009 kick-started his career. During the Magpies' Championship-winning campaign in 2009-10, Simpson made 39 appearances and scored once - before competing a £750,000 permanent transfer during the January window that season. The industrious right-back then made a further 84 league appearances for the Magpies once they returned to the top flight, including playing a pivotal role as Newcastle finished fifth in 2011-12, narrowly missing out on Champions League football.

After moving to Queens Park Rangers once his contract expired in 2013, Simpson spent a season in west London before joining Leicester last summer. A bit-part player this campaign, the 28-year-old has made 14 Premier League appearances for the Foxes and hopes to ensure they remain in the top flight for longer than a solitary season.
