Leicester City’s talismanic striker, Jamie Vardy, has secured his presence in the Premier League for another season by agreeing to a new one-year contract with the Foxes. The 37-year-old, whose contract was set to expire, has been rewarded for his instrumental role in Leicester’s Championship title win, capped by a decisive brace in Monday’s 3-0 victory over Preston.

Vardy’s future had been the subject of speculation, with potential moves to Saudi Arabia or America rumored as his next career destinations. However, Foxes manager Enzo Maresca’s desire to retain the former England international has seen Vardy commit to another season at the King Power Stadium. The extension ensures Vardy will add to his impressive tally of 136 Premier League goals and marks his thirteenth season at Leicester, extending beyond his 38th birthday. His recent form, with 20 goals this season, has delighted fans who sang for him to stay for “ten more years” during the Preston match.

Maresca has expressed his admiration for Vardy, suggesting the striker could continue scoring well into his forties. Leicester’s promotion was confirmed when Leeds United lost to QPR, and the Foxes now have an opportunity to reach 100 points in their upcoming match against Blackburn. The manager praised the team’s performances, indicating that their success was well-deserved after a challenging Championship campaign.
