Benkovic moves on loan again

Filip Benkovic has joined his second loan club of the season.

The centre-back spent the first half of the campaign at Cardiff City Stadium but he failed to make an impact under Harris. He featured in just one game for the Bluebirds, a disappointing defeat to Wycombe where he came off the bench for the injured Sean Morrison.

He didn't cover himself in glory either, arguably at fault for two goals, something which Harris referenced after he returned to parent club Leicester City.


The former Celtic and Bristol City man has now joined Jupiler Pro League side OH Leuven on loan until the end of the 2020-21 season. The Hoops were reportedly keen to bring Benkovic back to Celtic Park after his successful spell there during the 2018-19 campaign, but he's now moved to the Foxes' partner club on the continent.

The £13million centre-back has made just two senior appearances for the Foxes since arriving from Dinamo Zagreb in the summer of 2018.
