Harry Kane – Player Profile
Harry Kane is a formidable and incredibly prolific Striker (ST) for Spurs.
Kane rose through the ranks of the Tottenham Hotspur academy and has had a startling career at the club in his senior capacity. Kane finished his 2016-17 Premier League campaign with back-to-back hat-tricks in Tottenham Hotspur’s final two matches. As a result, he surpassed Alan Shearer’s record of having scored the most goals within a calendar year, totalling 39. His marvellous campaign also meant that he entered the club’s coveted top-ten goal scorers of all time.
Harry became a Spurs Academy player in 2009. After making himself known to the training staff, it was confirmed that he would advance his skills by joining Leyton Orient on loan in January 2011. He made 18 appearances for the Football League side and scored 5 goals.
After a brief interlude back at Spurs where he made 6 appearances in the Europa League, Harry was back out on loan, this time to Millwall and then to Norwich City in the season after. Harry Kane then joined Leicester City, where he netted twice for the Foxes.
The 2013-14 campaign marked Kane’s return to White Hart Lane where he began to feature regularly in the Spurs starting XI. It was his remarkable 2014-15 season where he became a household name for Spurs. He finished his season with 31 goals in 51 appearances, the first Spurs player to surpass 30 goals in a single season since Gary Lineker in 1992! He won back-to-back Player of the Month awards in his 2015-16 campaign, and also marked his senior debut for England in the same year.
His accolades came thick and fast: winning PFA Young Player of the Year, marking his place in the PFA team of the year, as well as winning a host of club awards. The last two seasons have seen Harry Kane bag 28 goals and 35 goals respectively in all competitions, and in the current 2017-18 campaign, Kane sits at the top of the Premier League top scorers table with 21 goals from 23 games (as of 21st January 2018).
Harry Kane is now a regular name in England’s starting XI after making his senior debut in 2015.
