Harry Edward Kane MBE (born 28 July 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and captains the England national team. Regarded as one of the best strikers in the world, Kane is known for his prolific goalscoring record and ability to link play.
Born in the London town of Walthamstow and raised in the nearby Chingford, Kane joined youth side Rigdeway Rovers when he was six. He grew up as a Spurs fan, living five miles away from White Hart Lane, but when he was eight, he joined the Arsenal academy (their arch-rivals). He was released for being "a bit chubby and not very athletic" and subsequently returned to Ridgeway Rovers. He soon joined the Watford academy, and after impressing in a match against Tottenham, was signed up by his boyhood club.
Kane began his career at Tottenham Hotspur, where, after fast progression through the team's youth academy, he was promoted to the senior team in 2009, at age 16. He did not initially feature for the side, and was loaned out several times to clubs across the English football pyramid, including Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City. Kane's involvement at Tottenham began to increase following the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino as head coach in 2014. In his first full season at the club, Kane scored 31 goals across all competitions, was the Premier League's second-highest goalscorer, and won PFA Young Player of the Year.
Kane finished as the league's top goalscorer in the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons; in the latter, he helped Tottenham finish as the competition's runners-up and won PFA Fans' Player of the Year. In the 2017–18 season, Kane registered his best campaign statistically to date, with 41 goals scored in 48 games in all competitions, and in the following season, he finished as a runner-up in the UEFA Champions League. His 2019-20 season was hampered by a hamstring injury and the COVID-19 pandemic, which postponed the Premier League. He didn't return until June. The following season though, he became the first man to win both the Premier League Golden Boot (top goalscorer) and Playmaker of the Season (top assister) since the introduction of Playmaker of the Season in 2018. In summer 2021, he announced that he wanted to leave Tottenham, claiming he had a gentleman's agreement with chairman Daniel Levy, allowing him to leave. However, Levy rejected interest, including a £127 million offer by Manchester City. He failed to turn up for pre-season and didn't play the first two games of the season, but on 25 August, he confirmed he was staying. On 5 February 2023, he scored in a 1-0 victory over Manchester City, his 267th Spurs goal, making him the club's all-time record goalscorer, overtaking Jimmy Greaves. This is disputed though, as Greaves' brace in the 1962 FA Charity Shield are not counted by Spurs, which would take his count to 268. He would become Spurs' undisputed record goalscorer with a brace in a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest on 11 March 2023, which were his 269th and 270th goals.
Kane has scored 68 goals in 100 appearances for England. He appeared and scored at every youth level and made his senior debut in March 2015, aged 21, coming on as a substitute for Wayne Rooney to score in 4-0 victory over Lithuania. Kane featured and scored during UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying, but although he played in the tournament itself he did not score. He was made the squad's captain from May 2018, with his first match as skipper being a 2-2 draw with Scotland in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier. In the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Kane led England to fourth place, their best performance since 1990. He also finished as the top goalscorer with 6 goals, winning the Golden Boot. He would captain England at the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League, leading them to third place after topping Group A4. He scored 1 goal, the winner against Croatia to put them in the Final Four. At UEFA Euro 2020, Kane would score 3 goals, including an extra-time winner against Denmark in the semi-final to win 2-1 to reach their first ever European Championship Final and their first final in an international tournament since the 1966 FIFA World Cup. In the final, Kane would score in the shootout, but they ultimately lost 3-2 on penalties to Italy after extra-time finished 1-1. In their last two qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Kane would score back-to-back first-half hat-tricks against Albania and San Marino (including a "perfect hat-trick", meaning he scored a right-footed goal, left-footed goal and a header, against the former and four goals against the latter) to secure England's qualification. At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Kane scored two goals, but his missed penalty in the quarter-final against France proved costly, as England lost 2-1 and were eliminated, even with Kane scoring a penalty earlier in the match. On 23 March 2023, Kane would score a penalty in a 2-1 victory over Italy in a UEFA EURO 2O24 qualifier in Group C to overtake Wayne Rooney as England's all-time record goalscorer, with his 54th.
