Harry Kane is one of the best strikers around and a total machine in front of goal.
Since his debut with Tottenham, the England captain has gone from strength to strength and marked his 100th cap with two fantastic goals in a 2-0 win over Finland in September.

On the international stage, Kane has become his country’s top goalscorer and still has a few more years at the highest level to extend that record and add to his cap tally, with Peter Shilton’s record 125 appearances well within reach.
He became the first England player since Wayne Rooney to reach 100 appearances against Finland, and was presented with a special golden cap by Frank Lampard.
His career has been incredibly successful from a personal perspective but hasn’t lived up to its potential in terms of trophies.
The England striker has yet to win a major honour at club or international level, but he will hope that’s going to change at some point soon.
Despite this, Kane has still racked up insane numbers across his career.
Here is a full breakdown of his career record so far…
Harry Kane career statistics
Tottenham – 435 appearances – 280 goals – 61 assists
Leyton Orient – 18 appearances – 5 goals – 0 assists
Millwall – 27 appearances – 9 goals – 5 assists
Norwich City – 5 appearances – 0 goals – 1 assist
Leicester City – 15 appearances – 2 goals – 0 assists
Bayern Munich – 57 appearances – 59 goals – 14 assists
England – 101 appearances – 68 goals – 15 assists
Early career
Before Kane’s breakthrough at Tottenham, he had four separate loan spells with Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich and Leicester.
None of these moves were failures, but no one would have predicted what Kane would become based on these temporary deals.
The striker didn’t exactly rip up any trees.
Of course, we all know how things worked out for Kane, but it’s strange to see how average his loan spells were.

Tottenham
By the time Kane left Tottenham, he was the club’s record goalscorer and the second-top Premier League scorer, with Alan Shearer the only player ahead of him.
Kane made his debut for Tottenham in 2012 under Andre Villas-Boas, but it wasn’t until the 2013/14 campaign that he scored his first Premier League goal in a 5-1 win over Sunderland.
He followed that up with two more and in the next season, he was a starter, and that was it.
Kane scored 21 league goals that season and never bagged fewer than 17 for the rest of his time at Spurs.
He also formed a lethal partnership with Heung-min Son, and they became the Premier League’s deadliest-ever duo.
Unfortunately, Kane never won a team trophy but has three Premier League Golden Boot awards to show his prowess as a goalscorer.
Ultimately, Kane left Spurs in the summer of 2023 to fulfil a desire to win major honours after going close with Spurs numerous times.
But he will always be a Tottenham legend and did everything he physically could to make the club successful.

Bayern Munich
It was a dream start to life in Bavaria on an individual level for Kane, who even smashed a few Bundesliga records in his first season at the club.
He became the quickest player in history to score 17 goals, doing so in just 11 games, and at one point looked like he could even break Robert Lewandowski‘s record of 41 goals in one season.
While Kane only scored 36 goals in the end, he nonetheless finished the season as the Bundesliga top scorer.
However, Bayern’s Bundesliga title hopes were shattered with a 3-0 defeat to eventual champions Leverkusen in February, and European success ultimately proved too much of an ask.
Even though the England skipper was lethal in the Champions League last season, scoring eight goals and setting up a further four, his side were knocked out by eventual winners Real Madrid.
But Kane moved to Bayern to win the big trophies, and UEFA‘s premier competition is a definite possibility for Kane in the future.
Having won the Champions League and its predecessor (the European Cup) six times, Bayern will be on the hunt again as they also look to reclaim the Bundesliga.
Agonisingly for Kane, last season was the first time since the 2011/12 season that Bayern have not been the German league champions.
But Kane will no doubt continue to destroy goalscoring records for every minute he’s in Germany as he looks for that elusive trophy.

England
Kane is England’s record goalscorer, and by the time he finishes, it’s hard to see how anyone will even come close to his record.
He has 68 goals for the Three Lions and with plenty of years still potentially left in the tank, 100 international goals isn’t out of the question.
He made his Three Lions debut in a 4-0 win over Lithuania as a substitute and scored just 79 seconds into it.
From there, he’s gone from strength to strength and has made 87 starts for England, while he’s captained his country 73 times.
Of course, after another heartbreaking result at Euro 2024, he’s yet to win anything with England, but there have been countless icons who all share the same fate.
Certainly, it doesn’t lessen Kane’s international achievements.
Euro 2024 saw him become the first England player to lead out the Three Lions in four major tournaments and also steal the record for the most capped England player at the European championships.
Regardless of silverware, when he finally retires, Kane will be an England legend.
