[edit] Career
Porter made his debut for Leicester City in 2006, as a second half substitute against Ipswich and scored his first senior goal in November 2006 at home against Plymouth.[1] He was man of the match a few weeks later when he scored a last minute winner against Wolves to give Leicester a 2-1 away win.
He was tipped for a big future in the game, especially after putting in a 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.[2]
On 31 October 2007, Porter suffered a knee injury believed to be cruciate knee ligament damage in a 4-3 League Cup away defeat to Chelsea.[3] Scans revealed that the injury was mainly damage to his medial collateral ligament, sidelining him for up to three months.[4] The injury cut short his 2007-08 season as Leicester were relegated from the Championship.
During the 2008–09 season, despite having fully recovered from his knee injury Porter managed just one League and one League Cup appearance as Leicester were promoted back the Championship as champions of League One.
