Vardy decides to retire from international duty with England

Jamie Vardy decides to retire from international duty with England to spend more time with wife and kids, according to multiple reports.

Vardy is believed to have told Gareth Southgate that he was considering quitting the international scene while out with the Three Lions for the World Cup in Russia.

It was a tournament Vardy failed to make the impact he would have wanted too.

The former Fleetwood striker started only one game out in Russia, that was the Group G dead rubber clash against Belgium.

He failed to score as Southgate's experimental side fell to a 1-0 defeat.

But following his rise from non-league football to the international scene, Vardy has become a constant in the England camp.

He has made every single England squad since he was first called up in 2015.

But a lack of game time recently seems to have forced his mind.

Vardy made a total of 26 appearances for the Three Lions, scoring seven goals.
