Early Life and Education
Joe Hart was born as Charles Joseph John Hart on April 19, 1987 in Shrewsbury, England to Louise and Charles. Growing up, he attended Oxon Primary School and Meole Brace School. Hart excelled in both football and cricket, and briefly played cricket for both the Shrewsbury and Worcestershire Cricket Clubs.
Shrewsbury Town
Hart began his football club career with his hometown club Shrewsbury Town in 2003. He made his senior debut the next year, one day after turning 17. In the 2005-06 season, as Shrewsbury's first-choice goalkeeper, Hart played a full 46-match league season. For his strong season, he was named League Two's best goalkeeper and was named to the League Two PFA Team of the Year.
Manchester City and Loans
After leaving Shrewsbury, Hart joined the Premier League club Manchester City. He made his debut for City in October of 2006 in a match against Sheffield United, and managed to keep a clean sheet for the duration of the game. In the first half of 2007, Hart spent time on loan to the League One clubs Tranmere Rovers and Blackpool. Having had great success with the latter, he was named the first-choice goalkeeper upon his return to Manchester City. Hart originally played with City until the 2009-10 Premier League season, when he was loaned to the newly promoted Birmingham City. He had an exceptional single season with Birmingham, helping the club record a 12-match unbeaten streak in the top division. Hart was consequently named Birmingham City's Player of the Year.
Hart kept up his success when he returned to Manchester City for the 2010-11 season. That season, he helped City win the FA Cup Final and secure its first-ever berth in the Champions League. Moreover, with 18 clean sheets in the Premier League season, Hart won his first Golden Glove award. In the 2011-12 season, he helped City win its first-ever Premier League title. Hart also claimed his second consecutive Golden Glove. Despite a slightly less prodigious 2012-13 season, he managed to claim a third consecutive Golden Glove. The next season, Hart helped City win another Premier League title. He achieved a major milestone in the 2014-15 season when he recorded his 100th Premier League clean sheet; additionally, he won a record-tying fourth career Golden Glove award.
After beginning the 2016-17 season with City, Hart spent the rest of the season on loan to the Italian Serie A club Torino. This made him the first English goalkeeper to sign with a Serie A club since the league was created in 1929. However, due to his overall poor performance with Torino, he left the club when his loan spell came to an end. Hart subsequently played the 2017-18 season on loan to the Premier League's West Ham United. Having a rough go of it again, he played his last game for West Ham in April in a loss to Arsenal. Following the season, Hart officially ended his 12-year association with Manchester City.
Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur
In the summer of 2018, Hart signed with Burnley to a two-year contract. He played in the club's first 19 league games of the season before he was dropped for Tom Heaton. The next season, after playing in just three games, Hart left Burnley when the club chose not to extend his contract.
Hart joined Tottenham Hotspur after leaving Burnley. He made his debut for the club in September of 2020 in a Europa League game against Shkëndija. Hart left Tottenham Hotspur after the end of the season.
Celtic
In the summer of 2021, Hart signed a three-year contract with the Scottish Premiership club Celtic. He had a memorable first season with the club, winning the Scottish League Cup in December and the Scottish Premiership in May. Hart helped Celtic win both of those titles again in the 2022-23 season, as well as the Scottish Cup. In his final season with Celtic in 2023-24, he and the club claimed another Scottish Cup. Hart subsequently retired from professional football.
