At 38, Jamie Vardy begins a new chapter with Cremonese | OneFootball

Former England national team player Jamie Vardy, 38, signed this Monday with Cremonese, a club recently promoted to the Italian first division that has won its first two matches of the season.

“StradiVardy is here,” announced the Lombard club on social media, posting a photo of Vardy next to a Stradivarius, the famous violin made in the 17th century in Cremona, in the workshop of Antonio Stradivari.

Vardy signed a one-year contract, until June 2026, with the modest club. Cremonese specified that an option for an additional season is included. The veteran striker spent most of his career at Leicester, scoring 200 goals in 500 matches between 2012 and 2025.

With Leicester, he won the Premier League in 2016 under the management of Claudio Ranieri, in what is considered the most surprising title in the history of the championship.

Vardy was the Premier League’s top scorer in the 2019-2020 season (23 goals) and also won the FA Cup in 2021. He played 26 matches for the England national team, scoring 7 goals.

Cremonese is currently the surprise of the Italian season. They won in the first two rounds, against Milan and Sassuolo, which puts them at the top of the table, alongside Juventus, Napoli, and Roma.
