Jamie Vardy, a 39-year-old English forward, has a new team: the Burnley transfer market has announced his signing as a free agent. The contract runs until the end of the 2026/27 season, after the player ended his contract with Cremonese.

Jamie Vardy returns to English football with Burnley

Vardy returns to England after a season in Italy. With Cremonese, he played 29 Serie A matches, scoring 7 goals and 2 assists, before becoming a free agent on June 30, 2026.

The agreement with Burnley does not involve any transfer fee, as the forward was without a club after leaving Cremona. Turf Moor has signed the player only until June 30, 2027, so his continuity will be reassessed at the end of the season.

The arrival comes at a specific moment for Burnley. The team, led by Nicky Hayen, currently occupies the last position in the Championship, with 2 points in five matchdays, having secured two draws and suffered three defeats. Additionally, they have scored 6 goals and conceded 12 in the competition.

Vardy also brings a record of 200 goals in 500 matches with Leicester, alongside his 145 goals in the Premier League. His last English spell concluded in 2025, when he left Leicester after 13 seasons at the club.

Everton also wanted Jamie Vardy

Vardy's move to Burnley comes after Everton emerged as an option for the forward. The Liverpool club considered his signing after having only one recognized center-forward in the squad following the end of the transfer window.

Everton faced difficulties on the final day of the transfer window with the failed transfer of Folarin Balogun. David Moyes' side had agreed to a deal of 40 million pounds, but the transfer did not materialize due to issues during the process.

Moyes himself admitted on September 4 that Everton ended the window with a small squad. The club also sold Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City for 65 million pounds, while Beto left during the summer.

Prior to Burnley finalizing the deal, Vardy had also been linked with Wrexham, Sheffield Wednesday, and São Paulo. The move with the Brazilian club did not progress, and the forward ultimately chose to continue his career in England.

Now Jamie Vardy faces a full season at Burnley, with a contract until June 2027. His debut will depend on Hayen's decision and his adaptation to a team in need of immediate results to climb out of the Championship's last place.
