Hart Goes To Birmingham On Loan

June 25, 2009 | Written by : Jim Haines

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart will go on loan to Birmingham City for the 2009-2010 Premiership season after his parent club signed Villa’s Stuart Taylor as cover for first choice Shay Given.

Hart, who lost his place to Given in the January transfer window, has not played for City since, although manager Mark Hughes rates the youngster highly.

Hughes is quoted on the official Manchester City website saying:

“His contribution to the team prior to Shay Given’s arrival was fantastic, but by loaning him to Birmingham, he will add invaluable experience to that already gained here at City.

“I know he will relish the prospect of regular Premier League action, which is vital at this stage in his career.”
