Former Newcastle defender Danny Simpson has just won the Premier League with Leicester City.

The title was confirmed after Chelsea came from behind to draw 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night – which left Spurs mathematically unable to catch up to the Foxes.

The ex-Manchester United graduate has formed the backbone of a side who have only let in 34 goals all campaign, starting 28 times in the right back position.

After being sold by the Magpies to Queens Park Rangers, the defender joined his current side two seasons ago, and has now played 46 times for Claudio Ranieri’s team.

The 29-year-old played 138 times for the Mapgies over a five year period, and enjoyed mixed times at St. James’ Park before his move back to London.
