Jamie Vardy leaves Leicester City after 13 years following Premier League relegation
Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy has confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the season.
Jamie Vardy will leave already-relegated Leicester City this summer after 13 years at the club, but has no plans to retire from football. Vardy departs as the club's greatest-ever player after he scored 24 goals in their 2015/16 Premier League title-winning season under Claudio Ranieri and lifted the FA Cup in 2021 with Brendan Rodgers in charge.

The 38-year-old said he is "gutted" to be leaving in a parting message to Leicester fans.
"I've had 13 unbelievable years at this club with lots of success, some downs but a majority, all highs, but it's finally time to call it a day, which I'm devastated about but I think the timing is right," said Vardy.
"I just want to sincerely thank you all for taking me in as one of your own. Leicester will always, always have a massive place in my heart and I'll make sure that I will be following for the years to come and what I hope will be even more successful for the club. But as for now, this is my goodbye but you will see me again soon, I promise. Thank you."
The announcement of his exit comes just days after the striker apologised to supporters for a "total embarrassment" of a season that has seen the Foxes relegated back to the Championship.
