LONDON: England captain Harry Kane said on Wednesday he is considering a future as an NFL kicker later in his career, with a possible spell in Major League Soccer (MLS) potentially helping him make the transition.
England captain Harry Kane is contemplating a future in the NFL as a kicker, with Major League Soccer (MLS) potentially acting as a stepping stone in his transition. The 33-year-old footballer previously expressed interest in careers in golf and American football. However, Kane acknowledged that any potential move to the United States is still several years away.
He stated at England's training camp that the NFL is a more realistic option compared to golf, given his penalty-taking experience. Kane believes his training in football techniques could give him an edge as a kicker. He also suggested that a stint in MLS could provide a way to combine both sports, citing examples of football players making the switch.
Kane emphasized that if he were to pursue this career path, he would dedicate time to serious preparation. His immediate focus, however, remains on football, with contract talks with Bayern Munich progressing towards an imminent announcement.
