Jamie Vardy, a forward for Leicester City, has extended his contract with the club, keeping him with the foxes through the summer of 2024.
In the summer of 2012, the 35-year-old moved from Fleetwood Town to the Premier League team. He had a significant role in every accomplishment Leicester City made while he was a member of the team, and he conveyed his happiness as well as his concerns about the extension of his contract.
In 2013–14, he played a significant role in the club’s promotion to the top division by scoring 16 goals during that time. Additionally, he was a key contributor to City’s famous escape from relegation upon their return to the Premier League in 2014–15.
I am obviously over the moon. Once I heard it was something the Club was looking at, there was only one thing that was going to happen, and I was going to sign it. The decision was easy. I’ve been here long enough now that I feel like part of the furniture. I think you can see with the way we’re trying to play, the way the Club’s wanting to go, that it’s going to be onwards and upwards. To carry on being involved with that, I was over the moon. Now it’s all about this season and finishing as high as we can. My legs are still feeling great so I’ll carry that on helping the Club as much as I can, whether that’s scoring or assisting, that’s what I’m here to do.

Vardy scored 24 goals across all competitions, breaking Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of 10 with a spectacular strike against Manchester United at the King Power Stadium in November 2015. He also set a record by scoring in 11 straight Premier League games.
