‘Our greatest-ever player’ – Vardy ends 13-year spell at Leicester

JAMIE VARDY announced today 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.”
