Shane Flynn was let down by the Foxes

It’s been a wonderful season for Leicester City who, despite some struggles towards the end of the 2023/24 campaign, still managed to claim the Championship title.

The Foxes have only spent one season in the division that many tend to refer to as the hardest to get out of, and next season they will be up against the likes of Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal again.

One player who will not be doing that is youngster Shane Flynn, who has decided to leave the club after seven years.

Shane Flynn was disappointed by Leicester’s lack of care

Now 22 years old and having battled injury for some time, Flynn will look elsewhere for his fortunes.

Written a post on X (ex-Twitter), it would seem he didn’t enjoy his time with the club too much either.

“After seven years at Leicester City, my time at the club is over,” he wrote.

“We had some great highs and made memories that will last a lifetime, but unfortunately we had too many lows along the way. I joined at 15 and am leaving at 22 with many life lessons learned and experiences that have shaped me into who I am today.

“I’m really disappointed with the treatment and lack of support from the club that I’ve received over the last year and a half in what has been an incredibly tough time with injuries, but I’m looking forward to the future. and I’m back to enjoying my football again.

“Thank you to everyone who supported me in difficult times. Your support will be forever appreciated! Up and up!’

Flynn’s words show what the other side of football is often about, the side that the match-going public rarely sees.

What they forget is that footballers are people too and want to be treated as such.
