Jamie Vardy will leave Leicester City this summer after 13 years at the club, but he has no plans to retire from football.
The 38-year-old has made 496 appearances since joining Leicester from Fleetwood Town in 2012, winning the Premier League in 2016 before reaching the Champions League quarter-finals in 2016-17 and winning the FA Cup and Community Shield in 2021.
He scored 18 goals as the Foxes were crowned Championship winners last season, but has only managed seven in the Premier League this term.
Leicester’s 1-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday confirmed their immediate return to the second tier, meaning they have been relegated from the Premier League in two of the past three seasons.
Leicester chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: “Jamie is unique. He is a special player and an even more special person.
“He holds a place in the hearts of everyone connected to Leicester City, and he certainly has my deepest respect and affection. I am endlessly grateful for everything he has given to this football club.”
