Claridge: England are misusing Jamie Vardy

The former Foxes forward believes the 29-year-old's disappointing display for the Three Lions was due to Slovakia's defensive tactics

England are not playing to Jamie Vardy's strengths at Euro 2016, according to former Leicester City striker Steve Claridge.

The 29-year-old came off the bench to score a crucial equaliser in the Three Lions' second group game against Wales, but he struggled when starting in their following clash with Slovakia.

And Claridge, speaking after Vardy signed a new contract with Leicester on Thursday despite interest from Arsenal, believes the styles of both England and their opponents have not helped the Premier League champion.
