Jamie Richard Vardy (né Gill; born 11 January 1987) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL Championship club Burnley.
After being released by Sheffield Wednesday at age 16, Vardy began his senior career with Stocksbridge Park Steels. He broke into the first team in 2007 and spent three seasons there before joining Northern Premier League Premier Division club FC Halifax Town in 2010. Scoring 25 goals in his debut season, he won the club's Players' Player of the Year award and then moved to Conference Premier club Fleetwood Town in August 2011 for an undisclosed fee. He scored 31 league goals in his first season at his new team, winning the team's Player of the Year award as they won the division.
Vardy signed for Leicester City in the Championship in May 2012 for a non-League record transfer fee of £1 million and helped the team win the Championship in 2014. In the 2015–16 Premier League season, he scored in 11 consecutive Premier League matches, breaking Ruud van Nistelrooy's record, and was voted the Premier League Player of the Season and FWA Footballer of the Year as underdogs Leicester won the title. He won the Premier League Golden Boot for the 2019–20 season, becoming the oldest player to win the award. In 2021, he won the FA Cup and FA Community Shield. After relegation in 2023, he was named captain and led the club to promotion the following year by winning the EFL Championship in 2024, before departing in 2025 following another relegation. He played his final match with Leicester City exactly 13 years after first signing with them in May 2025, scoring a total of 200 goals in 500 appearances for the club. He then played for Serie A side Cremonese for a single season.
Vardy made his international debut for the England national team in June 2015 and was selected for UEFA Euro 2016 and the 2018 FIFA World Cup, retiring following the latter tournament.
