Goalkeeper Hart signs for Burnley
Hart joined City in 2006 from Shrewsbury for a fee of just £600,000 ($778,000). The goalkeeper won the first of his 75 England caps in 2008; he was also helpful in City’s effort to win Premier League titles in 2012 and 2014.

The 31-year-old, has signed a two year contract with Burnley
for an undisclosed fee, the club said on Tuesday.
The arrival of Hart will strengthens Burnley’s impressive
goalkeeping ranks following a dislocated shoulder sustained by Nick Pope at
Aberdeen that will keep him on the sidelines for a time.
Hart will be competing with Tom Heaton and Anders Lindegaard
for a starting spot under manager Sean Dyche, with a Premier League match with
Southampton on Sunday. Both Pope and Heaton are also England internationals.
Hart has been at City for 12 years but Pep Guardiola made
clear he would no longer be number one when he took over in 2016.
“Joe Hart’s
contribution to Manchester City cannot be overstated,” Al Mubarak said in a
statement on Manchester City’s website. “His 12 years at the club has seen him
produce some remarkable performances and heart-stopping saves that will live in
the memory for a long time to come. “His passion for and commitment to this
club, evidenced by a remarkable tally of 348 appearances, means he will rightly
be regarded as a City legend in perpetuity.”
