Jamie Vardy, born on the 11th of January, 1987, hails from England. Primarily a forward, he played his best football as a striker. Standing at a height of 5'10" (1.79m) and weighing in at around 11st 9lb (74kg), Vardy was a formidable presence on the pitch, despite his stature not considered particularly imposing by modern standards.
His football career notably took a turn in July 2011 when he joined Fleetwood Town in England's League Two. In his debut season in 2011-2012, he made 36 first team appearances with a notable return of 31 goals in league matches.
In July 2012, he completed a move from Fleetwood Town in League Two to Leicester City in the Championship. This transfer reportedly cost around £1m. It was at Leicester City that Vardy truly made a name for himself in English football.
He had a relatively successful first season at Leicester City in 2012-2013, managing to find the back of the net four times in 26 appearances. His goal-scoring and performance continued to improve, and in the subsequent season, Vardy scored 16 goals in 37 games. Over the course of the next decade, Vardy consistently hammered home the goals, reaching a career-high 24 in the 2015-2016 season.
In his later years at Leicester City, Vardy proved that age was just a number, continuing to deliver impressive performances and goals, right up until his notably final season in 2024-2025 with nine goals from 35 appearances.
Jamie Vardy, a dedicated striker and devoted servant to Leicester City, then made a surprise move away from the club in June 2025. The details of his new club and the cost of this final transfer are yet to be made public at this time.
