England Goalkeeper Joe Hart Has Signed a New 5 Year Deal To Stay At Manchester City Hart And He Has Made 11 Appearances For England

England goalkeeper Joe Hart 24 year-old saw off the challenge of Shay Given to become City's 1st choice goalkeeper last season after for a successful loan spell at the Birmingham and the former Shrewsbury man is also firmly established as England's number one under Fabio Capello.

Hart joined City from Shrewsbury for just £600,000 in the 2006 and has made 121 starts for the Blues to date and he set a new clean sheets club record last season and won in the Premier League's Golden Gloves award in a process.
Hart made his senior debut for the Shrewsbury on 20 April 2004 for a day after his 17th birthday and he played the full 90 minutes against Gravesend & Northfleet and i am absolutely delighted to have signed a new deal and it is a very exciting time to be a City player, said the 24-year-old and i cannot think of myself being anywhere other than City and it really feels like home.

International career for a hart was selected by the Stuart Pearce in a preliminary England Under-21 30-man squad for the Euro 2007 and later made the final 23 in a team's final friendly before the finals and the hart was selected for his 1st Under-21 start and played for the full 90 minutes in a 5–0 win over Turkey at Carrow Road.

England Under-21 manager Stuart Pearce says Ukraine will be under more pressure

"Ukraine under pressure, says England U21 boss Stuart Pearce when they meet in the European Championship on Wednesday."

England drew 1-1 with Spain in a opening Group B game in Denmark, while Ukraine lost 2-1 to a Czech Republic and Everyone's going into the second group games with slightly different mentalitie said Pearce.
Ukraine are probably under a touch more pressure for we have knowing they've probably got to win both remaining matches and Pearce insisted that his side deserved their opening-game draw, which came courtesy of Danny Welbeck's late equaliser after Spain had dominated for long periods in Herning.

As a team we defended very well said Pearce and i know which team was going to go on and win the game when it went to 1-1 and i will ask the question for how many other nations would've thrown the towel in? Maybe in the 87th minute, when they're losing 1-0 and the opposition are keeping the ball very well.

If spirit and confidence for anything to go by England go into Wednesday's match against Ukraine in good shape and the Jack Rodwell is worthy of a starting place and will hope success here in Denmark can be the highlight of what has been an injury-hit season.
