Joe Hart hopes to extend his stay at Birmingham City Football Club.

The England goalkeeper has impressed during a season-long loan stay at St Andrews, which was brought on by Manchester City signing Shay Given last January.

Although the Eastlands club appear reluctant to let Hart leave on a permanent basis, the player hopes to at least enjoy another season in the Midlands.

"I was obviously struggling for a game at Manchester City. Birmingham made their intentions clear. They have given me a chance,” Hart said in the Daily Mail.

“I'd be open to staying another season on loan but I need to see what Manchester City think at the end of the season. I'm here and 100 per cent focused on Birmingham until then.'"
