PositionForward

Benjamin joined Leicester City during the 2000 close season and was considered to be an investment for the future by new boss Peter Taylor.

He spent much of the 2000-01 campaign on the subs' bench but always looked prepared to put himself about whenever he was given the chance.

He scored his first Premiership goal in the 3-0 win at Middlesbrough in November, and after missing out for England Under-21s in Italy when he was in the squad for the abandoned fixture, he won his first cap in the end-of-season friendly against Mexico.

A promising young striker, he benefited from his limited taste of Premiership football.

After a loan spell, Benjamin joined Northampton Town in January 2005 before moving on to Coventry City a month later with a contract to the end of the season.

Benjamin joined Peterborough United in July 2005 with a three-year contract but was made available for transfer in May 2007.
