Harry Kane eyes NFL kicking role after football career
England striker Harry Kane told reporters at St George's Park that he is already contemplating a post‑football career as a in the NFL. He said the option could become realistic in about five or six years, although his immediate priority remains football.
Potential MLS link
Kane also mentioned the possibility of combining a future stint in Major League Soccer with an NFL career, citing the complementary calendars of the two leagues. “If people see that I am still in top form in football, the conversation won’t even arise,” he said. “Perhaps, if I later play in MLS or a similar competition, the chance to combine both could arise, given how the seasons are spread.”
Training required for NFL
Kane acknowledged that switching to professional American football would demand specific preparation. “I kick penalties and the pressure and technique are very similar,” he noted. “But, as I know, when you watch elite sports on television it looks easy, yet it is not. If I decided to do it, I would take it very seriously and devote between six months and a year to training before attempting.”
The striker, who currently plays for Bayern Munich, is reportedly close to extending his contract with the German club. Nevertheless, he stressed that any move to the NFL is not imminent and that his focus stays on top‑level football.
When asked about the possibility, Kane replied: “It is something I will analyse more seriously. Everything depends on what happens in my career over the next five or six years, on my motivation and what I want to do. The NFL option is far more realistic than golf.”
Kane said he is following the steps of former footballer Brandon Aubrey, who made the transition to the NFL as a. The image accompanying the interview is credited to the NFL Press Kit, and the source was added as a preferred source on Google.
Kane will reassess the NFL option as his football career progresses, but for now he remains committed to Bayern Munich and the England national team.
