Man City keeper Hart confirms Torino exit

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has confirmed he will not remain with Torino after his season loan spell ended this week.

The England international left City for the Serie A last summer and went on to make 35 Serie A appearances and 5 clean sheets with the Turin based club.

"I really enjoyed it," Hart told ESPN. "I'm not going to come back, but I had a good time."

Torino reportedly could not afford to sign Hart permanently, and the 30-year said he could not got out on loan again given his age.

Speaking on Hart's time at the club, Torino president Urbano Cairo said: "Hart made a few mistakes, especially when coming out for the ball…We probably didn't expect so many mistakes from an England international…but he did some good things too."

Hart has a contract at City until 2019, but it is unclear whether he is in the future plans of manager Pep Guardiola.
