Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has had one of the best seasons in the history of the Premier League. He broke Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record for consecutive games with a goal, a leader for the No. 1 team in England and an all-around incredible scoring machine. Now the club is paying him back for his service to the club in a huge way with a brand new deal.
According to Leicester City’s official Twitter page, they have inked a new deal with Vardy through 2019. The club got Vardy’s take on the deal, and he stated he was delighted to be working towards something special with the club.
VARDY: “I’m absolutely delighted to be fighting to achieve something special with this Club. I’ve never known a spirit like it.” #vardylcfc
