Wrexham told Jamie Vardy 'could get any team promoted' as Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney are linked with bid for Premier League title-winning free agent

Former England international Vardy is now 38 years of age and it has been confirmed that he will be leaving Leicester as a free agent this summer when his contract expires. He will walk away having suffered relegation out of the top flight in 2024-25.

Vardy may, however, be given the opportunity to guide somebody towards the big time. A return to his roots at Sheffield Wednesday has been mooted, while a blockbuster script could be written if he joins Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at Wrexham.

Redknapp, a man with vast Premier League experience to his name as a coach, believes Vardy would be a shrewd addition at SToK Racecourse. His track record in the EFL suggests that he is still capable of delivering at that level.

Ex-Tottenham and West Ham manager Redknapp has told BetVictor: “Jamie Vardy would be a fantastic signing for Wrexham,” he said. “He could get any team promoted next season from the Championship, I still think he has a lot to offer in a team that can make chances for him. It would be a great move for Wrexham.

“I don’t think he will be on the radar of Premier League clubs, but that said, I think he’s fantastic. His work rate and everything about him is brilliant, if I was in the Championship I’d be moving heaven and earth to sign him.

“He would be a great value signing for any club, it’s a no brainer in my eyes – he gives everything and works so hard. I’d have him any day if I was managing a club who were trying to get promoted from the Championship, even a team like Burnley who have been promoted, his goals could help them stay up.”

Wrexham already have a number of strikers on their books - including one-cap England international Jay Rodriguez, record signing Sam Smith and club legend Paul Mullin - but plenty of movement is expected in North Wales during the next transfer window following the Red Dragons' historic promotion into the second tier of English football.
