Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy is to reportedly star in an upcoming American docuseries about the club he has invested in, Rochester Rhinos.

Co-owner Jamie Vardy has a nice ring to it; it’s also a real thing now as the legendary former England international partly owns Rochester Rhinos, of New York State in America. The ownership of basketball team Sacramento Kings, David Dworkin and Wendy Dworkin, are the others in charge of the team in USA with the No.9.

In all honesty, this wasn’t one of the moves I expected Vardy to make before retiring, or for retirement. Owning a pub was the old-fashioned one, but I thought he’d go straight into television punditry.

However, it appears that starring or featuring on TV will also be a part of the striker’s schedule, because Vardy will appear in a show or reality “docuseries” about the Rhinos.

"The docuseries will be produced by Love Productions USA, which also created the Emmy award winning Last Chance U as well as Cricket Fever: Mumbai Indians and a documentary about Sergio Ramos.The show will go behind the scenes and will have special access to all levels of the club, from the players to the coaches and upper management, including Vardy.Via The Sun"

Next season may be the initial time Foxes fans will have to get used to the forward receiving less playing time as he becomes the veteran of the team. Another attacker, Patson Daka, is supposedly an imminent arrival on Filbert Way; the Zambian actually interacted with Leicester supporters on Twitter recently.

Following this, LCFC play Manchester City at Wembley for the Charity Shield on Saturday, August 7. Although, you can expect another one or two friendly games to be arranged prior to that. Which usually culminates in a home practice outing against a decent, similar level side.
