Joe Hart: Tottenham sign former England goalkeeper on two-year contract

Hart was available as a free agent after leaving Burnley at the end of the season

Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart has joined Tottenham on a two-year contract.

The 33-year-old was a free agent after leaving Burnley at the end of the 2019/20 season.

Hart will provide competition alongside Paulo Gazzaniga for regular number one Hugo Lloris.

“I am here to help the team in any way I can, be it on the field, off the field,” Hart said. “I am here to try and push the club forward.

“There is no getting away from it, it’s been a difficult couple of years for me on the football field but I feel like I’ve got so much to give, I feel like I’ve got a lot of quality, I’ve obviously got a lot in the bank.”

During 12 years at Manchester City, Hart won two Premier League titles, two League Cups and an FA Cup.

Hart fell out of favour at the Etihad Stadium after Pep Guardiola’s arrival in 2016 and had loan spells at Torino and West Ham.

He joined Burnley in 2018 and made 24 appearances but was behind Nick Pope last term.

Hart, who started his career at Shrewsbury, has 75 caps for England but has not played for his country for almost three years.
