Jamie Vardy has said he believes he can continue to compete at a high level and has no plans to retire after leaving Leicester City at the end of the season.
The 38-year-old will be leaving already relegated-Leicester at the end of the season after a historic 13-year stint in which he scored 198 goals and led the club to FA Cup and Premier League glory.
