£18m Premier League star desperate for Celtic ‘high’ amid title race as he reacts to impending Parkhead change

Following his retirement announcement, Joe Hart wants to end his career at Celtic with a bang, according to Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Since Ange Postecoglou moved the former England international to Glasgow in 2021, he has been a member of the Hoops. His contract was for three years, and as that term was about to expire in the summer, uncertainty had enveloped his future.

It is now official that he will retire at the end of this season. Having experienced Premier League success at Manchester City earlier in his career, Hart has been Celtic’s number one player for the throughout of his tenure at the club. After starting his career with Shrewsbury Town and Birmingham City, he has also played for Torino, West Ham, Burnley, and Tottenham.

The 36-year-old is someone who Pickford looks up to. The 30-year-old, who is currently Everton’s starting goalkeeper, is eager to start for England in the summertime at Euro 2024 in Germany.

Transfermarkt values his time with the Toffees, where he was signed in 2018 from Sunderland, at £18.7 million. Admitting that Brendan Rodgers’ team is aiming for both the Premiership and the Scottish Cup, he hopes the season concludes with a significant victory. The present Celtic shot stopper is one of his heroes.

“He was someone I looked up to massively,” he said on talkSPORT. His journey from Shrewsbury to Birmingham to Man City did not go unnoticed; he went on to become England’s top player, earned 75 caps, and spent ten to twelve years playing for Man City.

“His career has been fantastic. I hope he leaves on a great note. It makes sense why the Celtics adore him.
