Jamie Vardy will leave Leicester City at the end of the season, the Premier League club confirmed on Thursday.
Vardy, 38, won a Premier League, FA Cup, Community Shield and two Championship titles during his 13-year stay with Leicester and has been hailed as their “greatest-ever player” in a club statement.
“Jamie is unique,” added Leicester City Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha. “He is a special player and an even more special person. He holds a place in the hearts of everyone connected to Leicester City, and he certainly has my deepest respect and affection.
“I am endlessly grateful for everything he has given to this football cub. Although Jamie’s time with us as a player is ending, he and his family will always be welcomed back to King Power Stadium with open arms after all he has achieved.
“On behalf of everyone at Leicester City, I wish Jamie and his family the very best for the future and I know our supporters will join us in giving him the send-off he deserves at the end of this season.”
