Robbie Burns realised he had a big future at Leicester City when manager Nigel Pearson drafted him into the first-team squad for the close-season “boot camp” in Slovenia.
It was quite a privilege for the Academy youngster who had signed his first professional contract – a one-year deal – in March this year which coincided with a loan switch to Tranmere Rovers.
Unfortunately, the early part of the 2009-10 campaign has been hampered by injury but he is still hoping to make an impression at the club this season.
Burns was born in Milton Keynes and joined the City academy at the age of 12.
