One of the most recognizable players for Leicester City will always be Jamie Vardy.
After spending eleven and a half years at the King Power Stadium, the striker, who is from Sheffield, is the member of the Foxes with the longest tenure. He has played a significant role in the team’s incredible success over the past ten years, including their stunning Premier League title victory in which Vardy scored 24 goals and provided eight assists.
In addition, he broke Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s record in the 2015–16 Premier League season by scoring at least one goal in 11 straight games. Vardy has made 449 appearances for Leicester City and scored 180 goals overall. He has won three trophies and become a legend at the King Power Stadium.
Vardy, who is 37 years old, has been heavily involved this season as Leicester has dominated the Championship for the most of it.
Football League World provides you with all the information on his current circumstances because, given his age, there are evident concerns about his future at the club.
Jamie Vardy’s Leicester City future
At 37 years of age, Vardy’s role in the squad is not quite what it used to be, having started less than half of their Championship games this season, but he does not seem ready to quit, and is keen to continue contributing.
Speaking to Leicester City media, the striker stated that, “Obviously, like everyone, you want to be playing as much as you can, but if you’re on the bench and you’re coming on, you have to make sure you make an impact.”
“Thirty-seven is just a number. You’re as young as you feel.”
“I look after myself, keep myself fit, so I’ll keep going for as long as possible. Football’s a demanding game, it has to be like that, and you just make sure you recover right and get ready for the next game.”
We are yet to find out what next season has to offer for Jamie Vardy, but it does appear that he will be looking to carry on playing football in some capacity, whether that is in a Leicester City shirt or not.
