Premier League winner Jamie Vardy will leave Leicester after 13 seasons at the end of the current campaign, the club have announced.
The 38-year-old England striker, a key member of the team which lifted the title against the odds in 2016, will depart with almost 500 appearances for the club to his name in the wake of a relegation he has described as "such a s*** show".
A statement on City's official website said: "We can confirm legendary striker Jamie Vardy will leave Leicester City this summer after 13 seasons that have seen him become our greatest-ever player."
Vardy joined Leicester, then in the Championship, following the 2011-12 season from non-league Fleetwood Town.
He was instrumental in their promotion winning campaign of 2013-14, however it was in the extraordinary 2015-16 that Vardy ascended to super-stardom.
Vardy struck 24 league goals and was named PFA Player of the Season as Leicester City stunned the football world by powering to a surreal Premier League title.
He remained a prolific striker over the coming seasons, helping Leicester to an FA Cup triumph under Brendan Rodgers in 2020-21.
