Adam Barradell is leaving Leicester City FC. The former U18 leading team coach had been with the club since 2016. He wrote the following message on his X account;
“10 years, what an incredible journey! After a decade with, @LCFC, the time has come to say goodbye. I’m filled with immense gratitude for the unforgettable moments and lifelong relationships built along the way. Leading the U18s program for the last 7 seasons has been a true honor.”
No update yet on this at the official site, but believe Adam Barradell has done a magnificant job, helping talented young players on to their next board, many of them either sold or being part of the first team set up. Jeremy Monga, Louis Page, Olabade Aluko and Jayden Joseph, Will Alves, Sammy Braybrooke, Trey Nyoni are names to mention.
No update on what Adam Barradell is doing next, but hopefully there are exciting projects turning up on his path in football. Wish him all the best on his journey.
At the same time one player who worked with him is Bobby Amartey. Amartey (20) has left for a loan at Sutton United. He will be with The U’s until the end of November, hopefully getting valuable experience and getting a chance to play first team football.
We have missed this player in and around the first team this summer, not really understanding why he has not been in the picture, having regularly played for the U21’s last season.
✍️ We are delighted to confirm the signing of Bobby Amartey on loan from Leicester City

Amartey has been with the club since he was 14 years of age. This will a valuable spell away from the club, hopefully benefiting and improving his game over this period of time.
He joins a long list of loan prospects, earlier seeing, Victor Kristiansen (Panathinaikos), Stephy Mavididi (Watford), Oliver Skipp (Charlton), Logan Briggs (Northampton), Stevie Bausor (Slough Town), Kirsten Otchere (Cheltenham), Jake Evans (Cheltenham) and Michael Golding (Shrewsbury) all leaving to enjoy loan spells elsewhere.
