On 22 March 2010, Liverpool confirmed Spearing would join Championship club Leicester City on loan until the end of the 2009–10 season, linking up with former Liverpool reserve teammate Jack Hobbs.
His debut came two days later, starting in the Foxes' 2–1 Championship loss to Reading.
His last game for Leicester was on 12 May in the Championship Play-off semi-final, with Leicester winning 3–2, but it wasn't enough to reach the final as they lost on a penalty shootout.
He made nine appearances for Leicester and scored his only goal for the club in the 4–1 home win against Watford.
