Joe Hart wants to finish his career between the sticks at Manchester City

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart says that he wants to spend the rest of his career at the Etihad and that a new deal with the Premier League champions is close.

The 27-year-old stopper had been negotiating his new contract since the summer but believes the deal is essentially done.

"As far as I am aware it is pretty much sorted," Hart said. "I want to be here as long as I can." The England number 1 has been at Man City since his arrival from Shrewsbury in 2006 for a bargain €750,000. "I love this place and I love everything about Manchester City," he added. "I have been here for a long time. I feel like it is my club now." Hart insisted: "I am very happy at this club and hopefully in the near future I will be signing that contract."
