Logan played seven games for Leicester in 2010–11 season, before on 18 February 2011, he joined Bristol Rovers on a one-month loan deal.{{cite web|url=http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10274~2296018,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110920170355/http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0%2C%2C10274~2296018%2C00.html |archive-date=20 September 2011 |title=Rovers Loan For Keeper Logan |publisher=LCFC.co.uk. |date=23 March 2011 |access-date=23 October 2013 |url-status=dead }} Logan then extended his loan deal until the end of the season, after impressive displays, including two penalty saves in as many games against Huddersfield Town and Notts County.{{cite web|url=http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10274~2321121,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110324182916/http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0%2C%2C10274~2321121%2C00.html |archive-date=24 March 2011 |title=Logan Loan Extended |publisher=LCFC.co.uk. |date=21 March 2011 |access-date=23 October 2013 |url-status=dead }} Towards the end of his 16 games at Bristol Logan expressed his desire to stay at Rovers permanently, a move that failed to materialise.

On 5 August, Logan joined Rotherham United on loan until January 2012. Logan made his debut for the Millers in the 1–0 win over Oxford United on 7 August. At the end of his loan, Logan returned to Leicester amidst rumours about a permanent move away from the club.

On 29 June 2012, Logan signed a new deal extending his stay at the King Power Stadium until June 2013.{{cite web| title=Logan Signs New Contract| url=http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/290612-logan-signs-new-contract-220023.aspx| publisher=Leicester City F.C.| work=LCFC.co.uk| date=29 June 2012| access-date=23 October 2013| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141108201423/http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/290612-logan-signs-new-contract-220023.aspx| archive-date=8 November 2014}} Logan was an unused substitute in every one of Leicester's league and cup games that season and did not play a competitive match. Despite this, he was a regular for the club's Development Squad, captaining the side on many occasions as they won promotion to the newly formed Barclays Under 21 Premier League. At the end of May 2013, whilst publishing their release list of out of contract players, Leicester announced that negotiations were taking place for Logan to remain at the club for another season. On 13 June, Logan signed a new two-year contract until 2015.{{cite web| title=Logan Signs New Two-Year Deal| url=http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/130613-logan-signs-new-two-year-deal-864579.aspx| publisher=Leicester City F.C.| work=LCFC.co.uk| date=13 June 2013| access-date=17 June 2013}} On 27 August 2013, he made his first appearance for Leicester City since October 2010, playing the full 90 minutes of the club's 5–2 League Cup win over Carlisle United.
