Leicester City has confirmed that three senior professionals – Jamie Vardy, Danny Ward and Daniel Iversen - will leave the Club following the expiration of their contracts at the end of next month.
Vardy’s storied career with us was celebrated during our final home game of the Premier League season against Ipswich Town, which saw his 13-year stay with the Club end on an incredible 500 games with 200 goals – the 200th arriving in that final game.
During his time, he won two Sky Bet Championship titles, a Community Shield, the FA Cup, and of course the famous Premier League title victory in 2015/16 – making him our greatest-ever player along the way.
Also departing is goalkeeper Ward, who joined from Liverpool in the summer of 2018 and has gone on to appear 52 times in a Leicester City shirt – including four penalty shootout victories in cup competitions.
Fellow goalkeeper Iversen will bring his stay with us to an end, having joined as a youngster in 2016. Between several impressive loan spells, the Dane appeared 15 times for us in all competitions.
In addition to Jamie, Danny and Daniel, eight of our junior pros - Oliver Ewing, Harvey Godsmark-Ford, Ben Grist, Deniche Hill, Liam McAlinney, Arjan Raikhy, Joe Wormleighton and Brad Young – will be leaving the Club at the end of June.
All leave with the heartfelt thanks of everybody at Leicester City for their contributions during their time at King Power Stadium, as well as our best wishes for the next chapters in their careers.
