Harry Kane mulls NFL kicking stint while eyeing future MLS move
England captain Harry Kane said he may seriously consider becoming an NFL kicker and possibly playing in MLS, depending on his career trajectory.
During a press briefing, England’s leading striker Harry Kane revealed he is contemplating a future as a placekicker in the National Football League, contingent on his career developments over the next several years. He added that a move to Major League Soccer could make such a dual-sport arrangement feasible, given the differing season schedules. Kane, who starred for England at the recent World Cup and is back with the squad for an extended international window, emphasized his desire to keep playing football as long as possible.
At 33, he acknowledged the idea is only a distant possibility and that he remains focused on his current club, Bayern Munich, where he is close to sealing a new deal. The striker currently has three goals and an assist in three Bundesliga starts this season.
Why it matters
Kane's comments hint at a rare cross-sport move that could impact both soccer and American football markets.
