KASEY McAteer returns today to the site of his most recent goal, the winger scoring the second in Leicester City's 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town in their final home game of the campaign last May.

PITCH BATTLE: Kasey McAteer, right, tangles with Charlton's Amari'i Bell

Indeed, four months and 12 games into his Ipswich career, it remains the case that McAteer has scored more times against the Tractor Boys than he has for them. It sums up how his season has panned out so far.

With City returning to the Championship, it had looked like McAteer would be a key player as part of a group of academy graduates at the core of the squad.

But with around a week to go in the summer window, a deal came out of the blue. He was heading to Portman Road in a transfer worth £12 million.

Now he is back at the King Power Stadium hoping to get off the mark for his new club. A goal would go a long way to helping him find his feet there.
