Veteran striker Jamie Vardy has agreed to join Leeds United as a free agent, marking a sensational move ahead of the 2025/26 season. The 38-year-old, who recently parted ways with Leicester City after a legendary career spanning over a decade, will bring his experience and goal-scoring prowess to Elland Road.
Vardy, a Premier League winner and one of English football’s most prolific forwards, is expected to sign a one-year deal with the option for a second. Leeds, aiming for a strong promotion push or Premier League stability depending on their final standing this season, view Vardy’s leadership and clinical edge as a major boost to their squad.
Speaking after agreeing to terms, Vardy expressed his excitement: “Leeds United is a massive club with a passionate fanbase. I’m ready for this new challenge and can’t wait to get started.”
Leeds manager Daniel Farke hailed the signing as a “statement of intent,” adding that Vardy’s hunger and winning mentality will be invaluable both on and off the pitch.
Vardy is expected to undergo a medical in the coming days before the move is officially completed. The news has already generated significant buzz among Leeds supporters.
