England Player Profiles

Joe Hart was born in Shrewsbury 19th  April 1987 christened Charles Joseph John Hart. His formative career centred on his home town club Shrewsbury Town.

Hart is proof that you need to be bold with your career and need to be seen  playing to make progress and despite a high profile move to join Manchester City it has been a loan spell in the Premier League with Birmingham that has catapulted the player into the current England Squad. Behind probably the best keeper in the Premiership, Shay Given at Eastlands, Hart decided that second fiddle was not for him, which was great news for Birmingham’s management and fans alike as he produced brilliant form for his adopted club this term.

Hart played 21 times for England at U-21 level and many felt he would make the step up easily enough to the full squad. Hart’s performance for England in the second half against Japan recently highlighted the terrific form he is. Hart is pushing David Green and David James hard for a first team start.
