JAMIE VARDY has announced he will be leaving Leicester at the end of the season as the club paid tribute to its “greatest-ever player”.
-
The 38-year-old former England striker, a member of the Foxes’ side which against all the odds lifted the Premier League title in 2016, will depart in the summer in the wake of a relegation from the top-flight he has described as “such a s**t show”.
Leicester said: “We can confirm legendary striker Jamie Vardy will leave Leicester City this summer after 13 seasons that have seen him become our greatest-ever player.”
Vardy, who also won the FA Cup with the club he joined as a 25-year-old from non-league Fleetwood for £1m in May 2012, will go with almost 500 appearances and approaching 200 goals to his name, but has insisted he will play on.
Speaking in a video message to fans, Vardy said: “To the fans of Leicester, I'm gutted that this day is coming, but I knew it was going to come eventually.
