Cisak's Second Chance At Foxes

as seen on au.fourfourtwo.com

Young Aussie goalkeeper Alex Cisak has been given another chance by newly promoted Championship club Leicester City after signing a new contract with the Foxes.

The 20-year-old Polish-born stopper has penned a six-month deal keeping him at Walkers Stadium until December 31.

Cisak, who joined Leicester as a scholar in 2005, was promoted to the Foxes' first-team last season and seems to have done enough to have impressed manager Nigel Pearson into offering him a new, albeit short-term, deal.

Fellow Australian goalkeeper Paul Henderson recently departed Walkers Stadium but Cisak will still have plenty of competition for a place in the Foxes side, as Leicester enjoy the services of young Irish stopper Conrad Logan, teenager Carl Pentney and new signing Chris Weale.

Cisak, who was part of Leicester's 2006-2007 FA Premier Academy League triumph, can represent either Australia or Poland.
