Jamie Vardy to leave Leicester at end of season | OneFootball

Leicester City have confirmed that club captain Jamie Vardy will be moving on this summer, bringing an end to his 13-year spell at the club.

Widely seen as the Foxes’ all-time greatest, Vardy’s contract runs out at the end of the season, and after loads of talk over the past few months, it’s now been made official - he’s moving on.

His final chapter at the club ends in heartbreak, though, with relegation - something he didn’t hold back on, calling it a “total embarrassment”.

The 38-year-old striker is not expected to hang up his boots just yet, and he’ll now be on the lookout for a new challenge.

Vardy joined Leicester back in 2012 for a million quid and went on to become a proper club legend, leading the charge during that unbelievable 2016 Premier League title win.

He also helped the club lift two Championship trophies, the FA Cup, and the Community Shield during his time in the East Midlands.

Foxes' Legend

Since rocking up from non-league Fleetwood Town, Jamie Vardy’s banged in 198 goals in 496 games for Leicester.

That puts him third in the club’s all-time scoring charts, behind only Arthur Chandler (273) and Arthur Rowley (265).

In the Premier League, he’s scored 143 goals and chipped in with 47 assists. That puts him 11th among English scorers in Prem history – just three behind Teddy Sheringham, who’s in 10th.

He’s also Leicester’s top scorer in the Premier League, and the only Foxes player to ever win the Golden Boot – he did that in 2019/20 with 23 goals.

Vardy was absolutely vital during Leicester’s unbelievable title-winning run in 2016, banging in 24 goals – though Harry Kane pipped him to the Golden Boot that year with 25.

Last season, he chipped in with 18 goals to help them win the Championship, but this year in the Prem, he's only managed seven.
