Aston Villa goalkeeper Shay Given feels Manchester City No1 Joe Hart will only get better.

Hart, 24, is now established as England's No.1 and being hailed by some as the best goalkeeper in the world.

Given, 35, said: "Joe has done really well for the last four or five seasons.

"He is at a fantastic club, with some of the best players in the world. And Joe is one of them. But the thing is, he is still very young. In goalkeeping terms he has got years ahead of him.

"This year he played in the Champions League, which he hadn't done before, and in the summer he will play in a European ­Championships, which he hasn't done before.

"That will help him improve.

"You can't buy experience and the more he plays, the more he will gain."
