Jamie Vardy is set to bid farewell to Leicester City at the end of the season, closing the chapter on one of English football’s most iconic fairytales.From non-league football with Fleetwood Town to Premier League glory, Vardy’s journey has been nothing short of legendary. Arriving at Leicester in 2012 for just 1 million, the then-unknown striker would go on to etch his name into the very fabric of the club’s history.Our greatest ever player, Jamie Vardy, will depart Leicester City this summer 💙— Leicester City (@LCFC) April 24, 2025 Over more than a decade at the King Power Stadium, Vardy played a central role in Leicester’s improbable Premier League title win, lifted the FA Cup, and claimed the Premier League Golden Boot in 2020. His story is the kind that rarely comes around—an underdog turned hero who defied every odd.Now 38, Vardy is not ready to hang up his boots just yet. Sources close to the veteran forward suggest he intends to continue his playing career and has previously stated he sees himself playing well into his 40s.Goodbye to the GOAT 🐐 pic.twitter.com/romej28Kbr— Leicester City (@LCFC) April 24, 2025 In an emotional message to supporters, the former England international, capped 26 times, shared his thoughts:”To the fans of Leicester: gutted this day is coming, but I knew it was going to come eventually. It has been 13 unbelievable years at this club, with lots of success, some downs, but the majority all highs. It’s finally time to call it a day, which I’m devastated about but I think the timing is right. I just want to sincerely thank you all for taking you in as one of your own. Leicester will always have a massive place in my heart and I’ll make sure I’ll be following in the years to come in what I hope will be even more success for the club. As for now, this is my goodbye, but you will see me again soon I promise. Thank you.”PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 34TuesdayMan.City – Aston Villa 2-1 (1-1)/Silva 7, Nunes 90+4 – Rashford 18 pen/WednesdayArsenal – Crystal Palace 2-2 (2-1)/Kiwior 3, Trossard 42 – Eze 27/Saturday14:30: (1.63) Chelsea (3.80) Everton (5.70)17:00: (1.67) Brighton (4.20) West Ham (5.00)17:00: (1.20) Newcastle (6.75) Ipswich (14.0)17:00: (5.00) Southampton (4.20) Fulham (1.65)17:00: (1.62) Wolverhampton (3.80) Leicester (5.80)SundaySun 16:00: (1.70) Bournemouth (4.20) Man.Utd.
