The 21-year-old was named on the bench for  a couple of the Foxes' Europa League encounters earlier this season.

However, Leshabela got his chance on Sunday as he replaced Ayoze Perez in the 81st minute of their 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United.

Leshabela has already represented South Africa at U20 level, which included taking part at the U20 FIFA World Cup in 2019.

The former Amajita midfielder now joins Percy Tau as the only South African to have played in the English top flight this season.
