Vardy trains with England as contract news breaks

Jamie Vardy was training with England in Chantilly on Thursday as news of his new four-year contract with Leicester City was announced by the Premier League champions.

Sporting a trademark white cast on his right wrist, the 29-year-old took part in a session that was fully open to the media beneath baking sunshine at England's Stade des Bourgognes training base.

After two days off, it marked the beginning of their preparations for Monday's Euro 2016 last 16 encounter with Iceland in Nice.

Vardy, who scored 24 Premier League goals last season, is believed to have rejected an offer from Arsenal in order to commit his future to Leicester, who he joined in 2012.

With all 23 England squad members present, the three goalkeepers trained separately while the 20 outfield players performed a warm-up and then some stretching exercises.

They were then split into two teams of 10 and put through a past-faced possession exercise as assistant coach Ray Lewington barked: "Be composed!" and "Stay on it!"

England captain Wayne Rooney was due to address the media later in the day.
