Using a 35 mm lense, he caught the animal sprinting across the area where tributes are laid out to former owner and those who lost their lives in the tragic helicopter crash on Saturday evening.
An image of a fox was first incorporated into the club crest in 1948, as Leicestershire is known for foxes and fox hunting.
The origin of Leicester City's nickname "The Foxes" was also introduced, with the symbol holding huge significance in the club's long and distinguished history.

It has been an extremely sad couple of days. The Thai businessman was leaving the King Power Stadium after Leicester's 1-1 draw to West Ham United in a private helicopter when it crashed in the arena's car park.
Leicestershire Police's website have named two members of Srivaddhanaprabha's staff -- Nursara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare -- pilot Eric Swaffer and passenger Izabela Roza Lechowicz as those who have also lost their lives.
The club released a statement on Twitter and confirmed that none of the five passengers survived the crash.
