    It was announced that Vardy will not play in Leicester's final game of the season with the club wanting to end his time on home turf at the King Power Stadium.

  • WHAT VARDY SAID

    The former England international spent some time with the media after the game, reflecting on his tenure in the Midlands. He said: "I missed a couple before that but once JJ [James Justin] put me through there I was never going to miss it. Obviously getting the dogs' abuse from the away fans up there, there was only one place I was going.

    "It's been amazing, it's been a rollercoaster, it really has," he said after Leicester's 2-0 home win. "But the good thing is there's been way, way, way more highs [than lows] and I thank everyone. I never thought we'd be in the Champions League, we'd win the league, and we've all been there for a reason."

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Vardy was a central part of Leicester's golden era, winning the Premier League and guiding the Foxes into the Champions League. He will forever remain a legend at the club who gave him a chance so late into his career.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR VARDY?

    Vardy wants to continue playing at the top level and reports suggest he will look for another Premier League suitor this summer. He may not be a starter wherever he ends up but he proved on his final game that he can still carry a threat with his pace and lethal finishing.
