Jamie Vardy is back in English football at 39, joining Burnley for a new Championship adventure after leaving Cremonese in Italy.

The striker has signed for the Clarets until the end of the season. Burnley, relegated from the Premier League last season, have opened their campaign with two draws and three defeats after five rounds.

Vardy arrives with a record that makes the move a notable one. He scored 200 goals in 500 matches for Leicester City and played an integral role in the club’s remarkable Premier League title triumph in 2016. He also holds the English top-flight record for scoring in consecutive matches.

He left Leicester in 2025 for Cremonese, where he scored seven goals in 29 appearances before the Italian club was relegated to Serie B. Now he returns to England to help Burnley try to rebuild its season.
