Leicester star Jamie Vardy signs new contract to commit his future to Foxes until 2019

Jamie Vardy has signed a new deal that will keep him at Leicester until 2019.
The England goalgetter, 29, has penned a three-and-a-half year deal at the King Power to end speculation about his future.
Vardy has scored 18 goals this season as Claudio Ranieri has transformed the Foxes from relegation candidates into title challengers.
Leicester extended their lead at the top of the table to five points with victory against rivals Manchester City on Saturday.
Vardy said: "I’m absolutely delighted to be fighting to achieve something special with this club. I've never known a spirit like it.


"Leicester City have shown nothing but total faith in me since the day I arrived here three and a half years ago 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."
Ranieri added: "Jamie is a fighter. He has had an unbelievable journey to get to this point in his career and continues to play every game as if it's his last. I love his spirit, which is a quality I want in my players above all else.
"He has shown what a fantastic player he is and, more importantly, he is part of a fantastic group. I am very happy that he will stay with us for a long time."

Ranieri doesn't believe the bookmakers who have made Leicester favourites to win the Premier League - because they tipped him to be sacked at the start of the season.
The Italian is refusing to listen to the betting companies, as it was they who predicted him to be one of the first managerial casualties of the season when he replaced Nigel Pearson as Foxes boss in the summer.
"I don't believe bookmakers," Ranieri said after being told his side were favourites. "They said at the beginning Ranieri was favourite to be sacked!"
