first team and finished season 2005-06 as a regular in defence. Had been plagued
by a stomach virus throughout season 2006-07 preventing him from playing regular
football, but returned to the first team after a spell on loan at Gresley Rovers
in December 2007. He is the son of former Leicester City player and Hinckley United
Assistant Manager, Nicky Platnauer.
