Harry Kane has refused to rule out a career in golf once his playing days are over.

The Tottenham Hotspur and England captain is now a scratch golfer and regularly spends most of his time on the course when away from the football pitch.

American Football is also another one of his hobbies and at the end of the season claimed he wanted to win a trio of major sporting events.

“I guess the ideal career would be a World Cup, a Super Bowl and maybe a Masters green jacket,” he joked.

‘Never say never’

But when asked what the future may hold once he officially hangs up the boots for good, the 28-year-old refused to rule out becoming a professional footballer – however he admitted that he would require more practice to be on par with golfs elite.

“I think that’s a long way away, but never say never,” he said, as per the Independent.

“I’m way off where the pros are at the moment.

“I know that for sure. I’m just concentrating on football. Golf is a great hobby to have to get away from football.”
