Cremonese has made a strong start to the new Serie A season, earning six points from their first two fixtures. They defeated Sassuolo 3-2 on Friday and won against AC Milan at the San Siro last weekend.

Vardy, 38, left Leicester City after 13 years at the end of last season. He joined Leicester from non-league club Fleetwood Town, where he played as a young man while working as a factory worker. Vardy quickly made an impact in England's second-tier Championship, helping Leicester win the title in 2014 and then becoming the goalscoring hero in their stunning Premier League triumph two years later.

During his time at Leicester, Vardy broke a record by scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League matches, and he won the Golden Boot for top scorer in the 2019-20 campaign. He also won the FA Cup in 2021 and earned 26 England caps, scoring seven times for his country.

Vardy has a remarkable story of overcoming adversity to achieve success in football. He will bring his experience and skill to Cremonese, who are looking to stay in the top flight.
