It will bring an iconic 13-year spell to an end. The club has confirmed that the 38-year-old forward will feature against already-relegated Ipswich Town in what will be his 500th and final game for the Foxes.<\/p><p>The decision to stage Vardy&rsquo;s farewell at home rather than in the season&rsquo;s final fixture away at Bournemouth has been taken to ensure a proper send-off in front of the Leicester fans. As a result, Vardy will not play against Bournemouth on 25 May. The club has urged fans to arrive early and remain after the full-time whistle to pay tribute to a player who has become one of the most iconic figures in Leicester&rsquo;s modern history.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Key supporter info as we prepare to say thank you to our greatest-ever player &#128016;<\/p>&mdash; Leicester City (@LCFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LCFC\/status\/1922935155758395432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 15, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Vardy&rsquo;s journey has been nothing short of a fairytale. Signed from non-league side Fleetwood Town in 2012 for just &pound;1 million, the Sheffield-born striker defied all expectations to become Leicester&rsquo;s all-time leading Premier League scorer with 144 top-flight goals. He currently has 199 goals in 499 appearances across all competitions and will aim to hit the double-century milestone on Sunday.<\/p><p>Among his many achievements, Vardy famously scored 24 goals during Leicester&rsquo;s astonishing 2015&ndash;16 Premier League title-winning campaign, arguably the greatest underdog story in Premier League history. He followed that up by helping the club reach the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals the next season. Vardy was also instrumental in Leicester&rsquo;s historic 2021 FA Cup win, as the Foxes defeated Chelsea at Wembley to lift the trophy for the first time in their history. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vardy Not Done Yet<br><\/h2><p data-start=\"1858\" data-end=\"2154\" class=\"\"><\/p><p data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1832\" class=\"\"><\/p><p>Despite Vardy&rsquo;s impending exit from Leicester City, he has confirmed that he has no plans to retire and is still determined to play at the highest level.
