Jamie Vardy Returns to England, Joins Burnley After Year in Italy
The veteran striker has completed a move back to the UK with his family, signing with the newly promoted Championship side.
Jamie Vardy has returned to England and signed with Championship club Burnley after his contract with Italian side Cremonese concluded. The move marks a quick return to the UK for Vardy, his wife Rebekah, and their children, who had relocated to Italy in 2025. Vardy and his family are adjusting to their new life in England after what they described as a rushed decision to move abroad.
Burnley, recently promoted to the Premier League, secured Vardy's signature this summer. The striker, who has a history of success in English football, will aim to contribute to Burnley's campaign. This move also coincides with Rebekah Vardy's participation in a new reality television show, 'The Vardys,' which documents the family's life.
The family's experience in Italy, living near Lake Garda while Vardy played in Serie A, was reportedly challenging, leading to their decision to relocate back to England. Vardy, 39, has also expanded his media presence by venturing into podcasting with the show "Jamie Vardy's Havin' A Party."
