Leicester City supporters were delighted to see one of their fan favourites back with the squad as Bobby De Cordova-Reid returned for the opening days of pre-season under new manager Russell Martin.
The experienced forward reported back to Seagrave as the Foxes officially began preparations for the 2026/27 campaign, marking the start of a new era following Martin’s arrival.
With fresh optimism surrounding the club, the return of De Cordova-Reid has given supporters another reason to look forward to the weeks ahead.
After joining Leicester in 2024, the Jamaica international quickly established himself as a valuable member of the squad thanks to his versatility, tireless work rate and ability to play across several attacking positions.
His experience is expected to be an important asset as Martin begins rebuilding the team for the challenges that lie ahead.
The first days of pre-season are expected to be demanding, with Martin setting high standards and carefully assessing every player before the new campaign.

Competition for places will be fierce, but De Cordova-Reid will be determined to impress from the very beginning and prove he can play a significant role in the manager’s plans.
Leicester are also expected to be busy in the transfer market over the coming weeks, with both arrivals and departures anticipated as the squad is reshaped.
Even so, having experienced professionals such as De Cordova-Reid back in training provides a welcome boost as preparations gather momentum.
With the hard work now underway at Seagrave, Foxes supporters will be hoping Bobby De Cordova-Reid can build on his experience and help Russell Martin guide Leicester towards a successful 2026/27 season.
