Manchester City to Honour Joe Hart By Naming Training Pitch After Burnley Goalkeeper

Manchester City will pay tribute to former goalkeeper Joe Hart by naming a training pitch at the Etihad Campus after him following 12 years of service.

An article in the Sun suggests the ceremony will take place October 20 when Hart returns to City for the first time since joining new club Burnley in the summer.

Hart, 31, will be the second former player to have had a pitch named in their honour, following club legend Yaya Toure last season.

The English shot-stopper joined City in 2006 from Shrewsbury and won two Premier League titles during his time as their number one.
