Burnley announce Joe Hart arrival

Burnley have signed goalkeeper Joe Hart from Manchester City on a two-year contract.

The 31-year-old, who was left out of the England squad for the 2018 World Cup, has spent the last two seasons on loan at Torino and West Ham United respectively after being deemed surplus to requirements at City.

Hart had been involved in his team's pre-season preparations, but has now moved on to Burnley for an undisclosed fee ahead of the 2018-19 Premier League campaign.

The 75-time England international, who still had one year left to run on his deal at the Etihad Stadium, started his professional career with Shrewsbury Town before joining City in 2006.

Hart will compete with Tom Heaton for the number one position at Burnley while England goalkeeper Nick Pope is on the sidelines with a shoulder problem.
