On loan Birmingham City goalkeeper Joe Hart admits Manchester City will make the ultimate decision on his playing future.

The 22-year old gloveman is on a season-long loan at St Andrews and has enjoyed an extended run in the first team, prompting the Blues to want to sign him permanently.

Hart is a big chance to go to South Africa with the England squad for the World Cup later this year and despite the fact that City have Shay Given as their number one, reports suggest they want to keep him which leads the former Shrewsbury Town man to believe that they hold the key to what happens next.

"It's out of my hands and I'm not sitting in the corner worrying about all the different scenarios," he told the Star on Sunda.

"It's not up to me what happens, I'm employed by Manchester City , I'm contracted to them and they are in charge of me.

"They've put me on loan to Birmingham for this season and right now that's all I'm bothered about."
