- On Sunday, September 6, 2026, Burnley Football Club announced the signing of former England and Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy on a contract until the end of the season.
- The 39-year-old Vardy, a free agent since leaving Serie A club Cremonese, helped Leicester City win an unprecedented Premier League title during the 2015/16 season.
- Sheffield Wednesday chairman David Storch revealed last month the Owls attempted to sign Vardy, but the EFL rejected their proposal based on business plan restrictions.
- Currently sitting bottom of the Championship with no wins, Burnley manager Nicky Hayen stated Vardy's "experience and leadership will be invaluable to our squad."
- Vardy will now assist the Clarets in turning their season around, starting with a visit to 11th-placed Wrexham on Tuesday.
