Harry Kane floats NFL kicking career, MLS move after Bayern contract
–
Neutral summary
Harry Kane, England’s captain and Bayern Munich’s record scorer, said he will “seriously” look into becoming an NFL kicker once his football career is over, describing it as “a lot more realistic” than a switch to golf. The 33-year-old also opened the door to finishing his career in Major League Soccer, possibly while playing American football at the same time, citing his admiration for Tom Brady as an inspiration. Kane, who believes he may have “five or six years” left in the professional game, noted that the pressure and technique of penalty-taking are similar to a kicker’s job. His Bayern contract runs until summer 2027, and reports indicate an extension is close: German outlet Kicker says the new deal is ready to be signed, while The Independent reports the two sides are near an agreement. Kane said the decision will depend on his motivation in the coming years, and he also touched on England’s World Cup exit against Argentina, calling it painful without offering further detail. A precedent exists in Brandon Aubrey, now a Dallas Cowboys kicker after being drafted from MLS side Toronto FC.
