Jamie Vardy has signed a new four-year contract at Leicester City which could see the striker finish his career at the club.

Vardy has penned a deal that will keep him at the King Power Stadium until 2022, at the end of which the England international will be 35.

The striker had held preliminary talks over extending his contract at the club earlier this summer but discussions were put on hold so he could focus on the World Cup.

“Everybody knows how I feel about playing for this football club and it’s a great feeling to know that I can look forward to another four years as a Leicester City player," he said.

“The journey that me, the team and the club have been on in the past few years has been incredible. Going into the new season, it’s an exciting time for Leicester City and I’m delighted to be part of it.”

The 31-year-old has scored 88 goals for Leicester since City paid a non-league record fee of £1m to sign him from Fleetwood Town in 2012. As he begins to embark on his seventh season at the club he sits 10th in the list of all-time leading City goalscorers.

He has been crucial to City's successes in the Premier League, scoring 24 goals as they won the title in 2016, including breaking the record for scoring in 11 consecutive games.

Vardy finished the latest campaign with another 20-goal tally.

Early contract discussions had come amid interest from Spanish giants Atletico Madrid at the start of the summer before Vardy helped England reach the World Cup semi-final.
