Jamie Vardy Opting To Make Leicester Farewell On Home Soil Against Ipswich

• 38-year-old to miss away finale and bow out at home
• Title-winning teammates expected for Sunday’s game

Jamie Vardy is expected to call time on his Leicester career after his 500th appearance for the club this weekend. Vardy, regarded by many as Leicester’s greatest ever player, has spent 13 years at the club and is poised to make his final appearance for them at home to Ipswich on Sunday and then not feature in their final Premier League match, at Bournemouth.

The 38-year-old striker, who is poised to captain Leicester for the final time, announced last month, after relegation to the Championship was confirmed, that he would leave the club at the end of the season. He was central to Leicester winning the Premier League against all odds in 2016 and the FA Cup in 2021 but conceded he wanted to exit on a better note, after a desperate season in the top flight, describing his own campaign as a “total embarrassment”. He will hope to score a 200th goal in a Leicester shirt against Ipswich.
