WREXHAM URGED TO MAKE "CRAZY" JAMIE VARDY MOVE – LEICESTER LEGEND "COULD TORMENT CHAMPIONSHIP RIVALS" IF PROMOTION SEALED
Hollywood-Owned Club Could Land Premier League Icon if Promotion Secured
In what would be one of the most blockbuster signings in EFL history, Wrexham are being tipped to make a shock move for Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy—with pundits claiming the 37-year-old striker could "terrorize Championship defenses" if Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s side earn promotion.
The Hollywood-backed club, currently battling for a second consecutive promotion, are already planning for life in England’s second tier—and former Wales striker Robert Earnshaw believes Vardy would be the perfect marquee signing to shock the division.
Why Vardy to Wrexham Makes Sense
1. The Hollywood Factor
🎬 Global spotlight aligns with Vardy’s larger-than-life persona
📈 Commercial goldmine – Documentary series + sponsorship appeal
🔥 "Last Dance" energy – Veteran star leading underdog story
2. Footballing Fit
⚡ Pace & pressing still elite despite age (8 Premier League goals this season)
💥 Proven Championship pedigree (16 goals in 2013/14 promotion campaign)
🏴 Welsh connection – Close to Leicester, family-friendly move
3. Leicester’s Likely Stance
Out of contract this summer
Foxes may offer new deal, but short-term Wrexham project could tempt
Player-coach role potential for long-term transition
Robert Earnshaw’s Verdict
The ex-Wales international told BBC Sport:
"This sounds crazy, but Vardy at Wrexham? He’d score 20 in the Championship. His movement is still incredible, and with their Hollywood backing, why not? He’d cause so many problems—defenders would hate it."
Potential Roadblocks
🛑 Leicester may offer new 1-year deal if promoted
🛑 Wrexham’s promotion not guaranteed (currently 3rd in League One)
🛑 Vardy’s wage demands – Would need to take significant cut
How It Could Work
💰 Promotion clauses in contract to offset wages
📺 Increased commercial revenue from documentary/social media buzz
🏆 Chance to cement legacy as cult hero in two Cinderella stories
Alternative Destinations
🔹 MLS (Inter Miami?) – Final payday in sunshine
🔹 Saudi Arabia – Big money but less competitive
🔹 Retirement – If no appealing project emerges
