Jamie Vardy, the iconic former Leicester City striker, has officially signed a four-year contract with Rangers FC, marking a significant move in the Scottish Premiership. The 38-year-old, who departed Leicester City at the end of the 2024/25 season after a remarkable 13-year tenure, brings a wealth of experience and goal-scoring prowess to Ibrox.
Vardy concluded his time at Leicester with a memorable farewell, scoring his 200th goal in his 500th appearance for the club on May 18, 2025, exactly 13 years after joining from Fleetwood Town. His contributions were instrumental in Leicester’s historic 2015/16 Premier League title win and their 2021 FA Cup triumph.
Despite interest from clubs in England, Spain, Major League Soccer, and Saudi Arabia, Vardy chose to continue his career with Rangers, signaling the club’s ambition under new American ownership. Rangers legend Ally McCoist, who had previously attempted to sign Vardy during his managerial stint, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating he would “take him in two minutes.”
Vardy’s arrival is expected to bolster Rangers’ attacking options and provide valuable leadership as the club aims for domestic and European success in the coming seasons.
