Playing career

Porter signed a one-year contract extension with Leicester on 8 February 2006. [1] He made his debut in a 3–1 win over Ipswich Town on 12 August 2006, scoring his first league goal in a 2–2 draw against Plymouth Argyle on 11 November 2006. [2] He was man of the match on 9 December when he scored a last minute winner against Wolverhampton Wanderers to give Leicester a 2–1 away win. [3] Porter put in another man of the match performance in a 2–2 FA Cup draw against Fulham, during which he set up Danny Cadamarteri's last minute equaliser. [4] He played a total of 34 league games, scoring three goals as Leicester avoided relegation in the 2006–07 season.

On 31 October 2007, Porter was stretchered off in a 4–3 League Cup defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, during which he assisted Leicester's second goal. [5] Suspected to be cruciate knee ligament damage, [6] he was sidelined for up to three months after scans revealed that the injury was mainly damage to his medial collateral ligament.

In the 2008–09 season, despite fully recovering from his knee injury, Porter played only one league and one League Cup match as Leicester regained promotion as League One champions. On 11 September 2009, Porter joined Mansfield Town on loan for a month, [8] making his debut in a 3–2 defeat to Stevenage Borough the next day but making only two appearances.

On 17 May 2010 Porter was released by Leicester along with Stephen Clemence, Billy Kee, Robbie Burns, Carl Pentney, Astrit Ajdarevic and Alex Cisak. [9]
