    Polarising striker Jamie Vardy is leaving Leicester following their relegation from the Premier League, ending the striker's 13-year stay at a club he famously helped to win an unlikely title in 2016

    Polarising striker Jamie Vardy is leaving Leicester following their relegation from the Premier League, ending the striker's 13-year stay at a club he famously helped to win an unlikely title in 2016


    The 38-year-old former England international will depart at the end of the season, the announcement coming just two days after Vardy took to social media to express his "anger and sadness" at a season he described as a "total embarrassment," with Leicester having been consigned to relegation with five matches to spare.

    He was, however, more conciliatory in a farewell message to fans.
