BURNLEY, England — Former England international Jamie Vardy has joined Burnley on a season-long deal.
The 39-year-old striker, who won the English Premier League with Leicester in 2016, was a free agent after leaving Italian club Cremonese at the end of last season.
“His experience and leadership will be invaluable to our squad, and we believe he can make a significant impact on our campaign,” Burnley head coach Nicky Hayen said.
“Jamie has a proven track record, and we are looking forward to seeing him in a Claret shirt,” Hayen added according to AP.
Burnley was relegated from England´s top flight last term.
“This club has a proper footballing history and passionate fans who deserve a team that represents them and their town,” Vardy said.
“I can´t wait to get going on the pitch and help the team move in the right direction.”
