[4] After a trial with Accrington Stanley, Hart would return with Rossendale United before featuring in the Accrington Combination League with Church Town. [4] A move to Colne would follow, where he'd score over twenty goals in the 2012–13 North West Counties Football League Premier Division. [4] Hart had a stint with Padiham after leaving Colne, prior to signing with Clitheroe in 2014. [4] [5] He spent one season with the Northern Premier League Division One North club, before being sacked. [6]

In 2015, Hart rejoined Colne for a second spell. [7] Thirty-four goals would follow in the 2015–16 NWCFL as Colne won the title and promotion to the Northern Premier League division that he played in for Clitheroe. [8] In June 2016, Hart secured a contract across the competition with recently relegated Ramsbottom United. [9] Upon leaving Ramsbottom, Hart appeared for Nelson and, for a second time, Padiham. [7] [10] October 2017 saw Hart head to Northwich Victoria of the NWCFL. [10] However, the forward would return to Padiham in the succeeding March. [11] He would be on the move again within months, penning terms with Longridge Town. [12]

Hart, after thirty goals for Longridge, switched England for Bhutan in June 2019, as he joined Premier League side Thimphu City; managed by fellow Englishman Josh Shepherd. [13] [14] He scored on his competitive debut against Druk Star, with another goal following in his second match versus Paro. [13] [14] [15] Hart scored twenty goals and assisted nine more for Thimphu City. [16] Hart departed at the end of 2019, subsequently joining I-League team Punjab.

[20] On 9 May 2021, Hart debuted for NPL side St Albans Saints. [21]

Personal life

In April 2015, Hart was dismissed by Clitheroe F.C. after he was recorded having sex with a woman in the away dugout while wearing their training kit after a league match. The video was circulated widely across social media. [7] [6] Anne Barker, chairwoman of Clitheroe, said Hart brought the club into disrepute and he was sacked following the incident. [22]

He separated from his partner and moved overseas shortly after the incident.

Hart has one son, Lucas (born October 2011).
