Jamie Vardy's Inspirational Journey - From Non-league Footballer to Premier League Winner

Jamie Vardy will leave Leicester City at the end of the 2024-25 season.

It ends a 13-year association with the club for Vardy.

But did you know of Vardy's inspirational rise through the English football pyramid?

His career began at Stocksbridge Park Steels in 2005 - the seventh tier of English football!

He then joined Halifax Town in 2009 and was their top scorer with 25 goals. 

This led to a move to Fleetwood Town in the game's fifth tier, where he scored 31 goals - and was again the team's top scorer. 

This led to a move to Championship side Leicester City - where he won Premier League promotion in 2014/15.

He also spearheaded their run to an improbable title win in 2015-16 - a year after narrowly avoiding relegation, thus cementing himself in the annals of the club's history. 

Vardy will leave the club having also won the FA Cup in 2021.
