Andy Johnson - We're in it together!

Leicester City midfielder Andy Johnson is poised to sound a come-and-get-me call to his home town club Bristol Rovers.

The former Welsh international was heavily linked with a move to the Memorial Stadium a year ago when his contract was up at West Bromwich Albion

Leicester then moved in to snap him up on a one-year deal, and it looks certain that the 32-year-old will be on his way out of the Walker's Stadium in the weeks ahead.

New Foxes chairman Milan Mandaric has ordered a player clear-out whether or not Leicester survive their battle to remain in the Championship.

A source close to Johnson has confirmed that the Brislington-raised player would be keen to end his career with the Pirates, the club he has supported since he was a youngster.

Although Rovers were keen to land him 12 months ago, they knew they would face an uphill battle competing with a club from a higher level in terms of wages. He was also targeted by a number of other Championship clubs.

Johnson has made 21 appearances for Leicester this season despite a spell on the sidelines because of injury and recently won back his place in the Foxes' first-team.

He started his career at Norwich City before making a £2.2 million move to Nottingham Forest in 1997. His £200,000 switch to the Baggies followed in 2001 and he played a major part in helping them win promotion to the Premiership in 2004.
