Leicester City assistant manager Steve Walsh has revealed that Jamie Vardy had demanded an England appearance bonus in his contract when he joined the club from Fleetwood Town.
Vardy's rise to prominence from a non-league footballer to an England international over the last few seasons has been nothing short of spectacular and the striker's exploits have most certainly surprised many.
However, Vardy always seemed to have belief in his ability to make it to the top and as a mark of his immense confidence, the striker even had an England appearance clause inserted into his contract when he joined Leicester City from non-league side Fleetwood Town back in 2012.
Walsh said: “He's such a confident lad he actually put in his contract when he joined Leicester for a bonus if he became an England player.
“Micky Mellon was his manager (at Fleetwood Town) at the time and he said Vardy 'could be anything he wants to be'."
