  • Jamie Vardy has put to bed speculation about his future by committing to Leicester City
  • The English striker has penned another deal to remain at the King Power until 2024
  • He has been at Leicester City since 2012 and was crucial for his side’s unlikely Premier League title win in 2016

Leicester City are set to retain the services of Jamie Vardy for two more years after the 35-year old penned a new two-year contract with the club.

Vardy was subject to some speculation in recent weeks, and the most recent rumors suggested he could potentially join Manchester United, who are looking to reinforce their attack.

The striker grew up in Sheffield and started his football career in Sheffield’s youth system but was released aged 16.

At the time, the Foxes were stuck in the Championship with little hope of making it back to English top flight but they eventually climbed up in 2014.
