Joe Hart could reportedly re-join Manchester City in an emotional return back to the club where he previously enjoyed glittering success.

The former England No.1 has been Celtic's first-choice goalkeeper across the past three seasons.

But the 37-year-old has announced his intentions to retire from the sport at the end of the campaign.

He revealed his decision back in February this year, and he's hoping to go out on the high by helping the Hoops to lift the league and cup double in May.

During his time at the Ethiad, he won a Premier League, one FA Cup and two League Cups. 

He spent 12 years as a City player after moving from Shrewsbury Town in 2008.

Pep Guardiola's arrival in Manchester spelled the end to Hart's career there, though, after 348 first team appearances. He left in 2018, two years after the Spaniard took over.

He was controversially dropped in Pep's first game against Sunderland, and never worked his way back in, with both Willy Caballero and Claudio Bravo preferred. Hart signed on loan for Serie A side Torino.

Despite the way it ended under Pep, it seems the City boss is keen to get Hart back on board.

The Daily Record claims the Premier League champions want to bring the soon-to-retire goalkeeper back to the club.

This would be in a non-football capacity, so, in an ambassadorial role of some sort.

Hart is keen to remain involved in the game when he calls time on his career in a matter of weeks, however, he has already stated his intention is to not go down the coaching route as it 'doesn't do it' for him.

Hart's final game for Celtic will come on Saturday, May 25 when Celtic take to Hampden to face Rangers in the Scottish Cup final.
