Jamie Vardy has signed with Burnley until the end of the season, marking a move from former club Cremonese after leaving in the summer. The 39‑year‑old striker, Leicester’s record Premier League scorer with 145 goals, joins a winless Clarets side that sits at the bottom of the Championship. Vardy, who earned 26 England caps and scored seven goals internationally, spent 13 years at Leicester, scoring 200 goals in 500 appearances across all competitions.

Burnley, under new manager Nicky Hayen, have struggled in the second tier, remaining without a win in five matches after relegation from the Premier League last season. Vardy expressed excitement to represent the club’s passionate fans and help steer the team forward.
