Jamie Vardy, a striker for Leicester City, has extended his contract until 2024 in an effort to maintain his strong performance for the team.

In his 272 Premier League games, Vardy, 35, has scored 133 goals throughout the course of his ten years at the club.

Since signing from non-league Fleetwood in 2012, he has scored 24 goals as they have won the Premier League, the FA Cup, and played in the Champions League.

“I’m obviously over the moon,” said Vardy, who has scored 164 goals in 387 appearances in all competitions.

“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.”

Vardy’s contract was set to expire in 2023, and during the transfer window, Manchester United had been mentioned in connection with him.

He added: “I’ve been here long enough now that I feel like part of the furniture.

“My legs are still feeling great so I’ll carry 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 23 goals in the Premier League season 2019–20, and he also netted seven times in 26 appearances for England.
