Premier League champions Manchester City have named a pitch at their training ground after former goalkeeper Joe Hart.

The training facility was unveiled alongside a mosaic of the keeper’s 2012 title-winning celebrations.

The 31-year-old moved to Burnley in August after making 348 appearances in his 12- year City career.

The move was made “in recognition of the club legend’s 12-year association with the club”, Man City said in a statement.

“It is a lovely touch. It is a club that I think a lot of and I am very proud of what I have done here,” said Hart.

Before joining Burnley, Hart, a former England international had loan spells at Torino and West Ham.

“It will always be a part of me and I really appreciate the fact that I will always be a part of it.

The keeper would also be presented with a lifetime season card when city face Burnley on Saturday.
