After hanging up his gloves this summer, the 37-year-old will now become a studio pundit for Match of the Day throughout the 2024/25 season.

Hart earned 75 caps for the England national team and was part of BBC Sport's coverage during his country's run to the Euro 2024 final this summer.

With 340 appearances in the English Premier League and a legacy that includes two league titles, an FA Cup, and two League Cups with Manchester City, Hart is poised to bring valuable insights and experience to his new role in sports commentary.
