Veteran Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy will leave the Foxes at the end of the season after a 13 year stay at the club.
Vardy, the club’s current captain, joined Leicester City from Fleetwood Town and went on to score 198 goals in 498 appearances. He won the Premier League with the club in 2015/16.
Confirming his departure from the club 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.”
Vardy himself said: “To the fans of Leicester, I’m gutted that this day is coming, but I knew it was going to come eventually.
“I’ve spent 13 unbelievable years at this club, with lots of success, and some downs, but the majority have all been highs.
“It’s finally time to call it a day, which I’m devastated about, but I think the timing is right.
“Leicester will always, always have a massive place in my heart,” he said.
The Foxes will play in the Championship next season after their relegation was confirmed last week.
