Leicester City players Patson Daka and Harry Souttar have unveiled new gym equipment for patients at a mental health unit.

The pair visited the Bradgate Mental Health Unit, in Glenfield, after the club's charitable trust contributed £3,888 towards a multi-gym.

Staff at the NHS-run unit said the equipment was proving popular with patients.

"Coming here has been an eye-opener for me," Daka said.

"This is an amazing facility. The staff here do things that make a huge difference to people's lives.

"Everyone needs to take care of their physical and mental health.
