Jamie Vardy has signed an extension until 2019 to improve his wages.

Vardy's new deal will pay him £80,000-per-week.

“I’m absolutely delighted to be fighting to achieve something special with this club, as part of this squad. I’ve never known a spirit like it – from the owners, to the manager and his staff, the players and the fans. I want to be part of it for a long time,” Vardy told the club’s website.

“Leicester have shown nothing but total faith in me since the day I arrived here and it’s impossible to measure how much that belief has helped me to improve. I’ll forever be grateful for the investment the club has made in me and I’ll spend every day working to repay it,” he concluded.
