“I’m obviously over the moon.
The decision was easy.
“I’ve been here long enough now that I feel like part of the furniture. I think you can see with the way we’re trying to play, the way the Club’s wanting to go, that it’s going to be onwards and upwards.
“To carry on being involved with that, I was over the moon. Now it’s all about this season and finishing as high as we can.
My legs are still feeling great so I’ll carry that on helping the Club as much as I can, whether that’s scoring or assisting, that’s what I’m here to do.”
Undoubtedly, the striker will continue to give many more impressive performances on the pitch with Leicester in the coming games. Vardy has won the FA Cup, Community Shield, and the Premier League celebrating a beautiful decade with Leicester City.
