In a stunning development, former Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has agreed to join Leeds United as a free agent ahead of the 2025/26 season. The 38-year-old veteran, who spent over a decade at Leicester and played a pivotal role in their historic 2015/16 Premier League title win, has opted for a new challenge at Elland Road after his contract with the Foxes expired.
Leeds United, recently promoted back to the Premier League, have been seeking experienced leadership and firepower to solidify their attack. Vardy’s wealth of top-flight experience, combined with his relentless work ethic and sharp goal-scoring instincts, makes him an ideal fit for the Yorkshire club. The move is seen as a statement of intent by Leeds as they aim to not just survive but compete at a higher level next season.
Speaking on the transfer, Vardy expressed his excitement: “Leeds is a massive club with a passionate fanbase. I’m eager to get started and help the team achieve great things.” The deal is expected to be officially confirmed in the coming days, with Vardy set to join pre-season training in early July.
Can Vardy inspire Leeds to another unforgettable season? Only time will tell.
