Leicester news: Jamie Vardy to keep playing

Following the announcement that he will be leaving Leicester at the end of the season, Jamie Vardy has confirmed he has no plans to retire after his departure in the summer.

The striker will turn 39 in January but he has no plans to quit having scored 232 goals in 536 appearances for Fleetwood and the Foxes.

“This isn’t retirement – I want to keep playing and doing what I enjoy doing most, scoring goals,” he said. “Hopefully there’s one or two more for Leicester between now and the end of the season and many more in the future.

“I may be 38 but I’ve still got the desire and ambition to achieve so much more.”
