Leicester legend Jamie Vardy’s future deserves to be in his own hands, according to pundit David Prutton.
With the Foxes likely facing Championship football next season, questions surround the 37-year-old striker whose contract expires this summer.
Prutton highlighted Vardy’s remarkable journey and achievements at Leicester:

“Jamie Vardy, does he get a new contract? I think it’s safe to say he’s been one of the modern-day greats for Leicester City, what he’s achieved.
“His story is remarkable, climbing up through the divisions from outside of the Football League to get to where he’s got to. Conquering the Premier League, FA Cup winner – I mean you could reel off the achievements, and they are ones to behold.”
The pundit suggested potential non-playing roles but acknowledged Vardy could still contribute on the pitch in the Championship, referencing last season’s 18-goal haul. He concluded:

“I’d like to think that Jamie Vardy has got to the stage in his career where he’s the one that calls the shots with his time at Leicester because of what he’s given them. He’s helped to fundamentally transform that football club in recent times, hasn’t he?”
Vardy’s decision will be crucial as Leicester prepare for their second-tier return, with his experience and leadership remaining valuable assets whether he continues playing or transitions to a new role.
