Regardless of what the future holds, Jamie Vardy’s legacy at Leicester City is secure.
Since joining the club in 2012, the 37-year-old has become a Foxes icon, with his unforgettable 2015-16 campaign—culminating in a Premier League title—widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements in sporting history.
However, all good things must come to an end, and for Vardy, this season could mark the final chapter of his storied career at the King Power Stadium.
Jamie Vardy weighing up retirement at season’s end:
The Sheffield-born striker has just eight months remaining on his current contract, with no renewal discussions on the table.
According to a report from Fichajes, Vardy is now facing a major decision: retire at the end of the season or pursue a new challenge overseas, potentially in the Middle East.
The Saudi Pro League has become a popular destination for high-profile players nearing the end of their careers. However, the thought of Vardy wearing anything other than Leicester’s colours feels almost unimaginable for supporters.
Having spent the bulk of his career with the Foxes, it would come as no surprise if Vardy opted to bring the curtain down on his remarkable journey at the club where he made history.
Over the course of 14-and-a-half years with Leicester, Vardy has been a consistent presence and remains the holder of the Premier League’s record for scoring in 11 consecutive matches.
Across all competitions, he has netted 193 goals and provided 66 assists in 472 appearances—a testament to his enduring quality and importance to the club.
If this is to be Vardy’s final campaign, he leaves behind a legacy few could match, forever etched into the fabric of Leicester City folklore.
