Known for having participated in Manchester City’s historic first coronation in 2012, Joe Hart has declared that he wants to retire from professional football this summer. The Briton currently involved with Celtic Galsgow in Scotland, began his career in 2005 in the English fourth division, before signing for the Skyblues, where he spent 12 years of his life, first being loaned to the lower leagues, then by establishing himself as the starter of a team in the making, at the beginning of the domination it knows today.
With David Silva, Yaya Touré, Vincent Kompany, Samir Nasri, he is one of those who laid the foundations of the Cityzens nouveau riche project, with whom he won two Premier Leagues (in 2012 and 2014), two cups of the English league (in 2014 and 2016) and an FA Cup (in 2011). He was also voted best goalkeeper in the Premier League three times in a row from 2010 to 2013.
Upon the arrival of Pep Guardiola in 2016, the goalkeeper experienced new loans at Torino and West Ham, then he consecutively joined Burnley, Tottenham and finally Celtic Glasgow where he expanded his trophy cabinet. Joe Hart will hang up his crampons and gloves at the end of the season, after 3 years spent in Scotland. We will remember him for this Champions League evening at the Camp Nou against the MSN, Messi, Suarez Neymar, against whom he pulled out all the stops. Also for his 75 caps with the Three Lions, with whom he played the Euro 2012 and 2016, as well as the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Joe Hart is bowing out, after a career full of vagaries and flashes of inexplicable genius. He will have been a true English goalkeeper.
