Harry Kane hints at shock career change after retiring with England captain ‘involved in a few projects’
HARRY KANE has hinted at a surprising career change after he retires from football.
The England captain has already begun thinking about life for when he decides to hang his boots up and has revealed he is “involved in a few projects”.
Kane, 30, like the sport’s elite has decided to venture out and become a business in his own right.
The Bayern Munich star has begun to look beyond football and become co-owner of a sustainable headphones and electronics firm called Our Pure Planet (OPP).
In a recent interview with Football 365 Tottenham’s all-time top goal scorer spoke about life after his playing career.
He said: “I have become more interested in business and what I would like to get involved in when my football career is finished.
“You want something that will keep you busy when your career ends because football is not a long career and you have another half of your life after that to think about.
“You want to learn new things, get involved in projects that interest you and hopefully Our Pure Planet is not just something that will last for a couple of years.
“Making a little difference in the world is important and it felt like a good fit.
“We all need to learn more about being greener and leaving the planet in a better place than it is now. It is something I want to learn more about.”

Kane said the environmentally friendly element of the business opportunity was a key reason for him to invest.
OPP ensures on having zero carbon impact across any of its products.
The striker continued: “It is hard to pick the right projects to be associated with.
“You want the product to be good and to feel excited about using it and then you look at things that can make more of a difference around that.
“You also want to be a part of something that is moving forward in the future.
“And with OPP, I feel it is going to get bigger as we learn more and more about making products that are good for the environment.
“It’s not just about signing up for a product, getting paid for a year or two and walking away from it.
“I want to be involved in projects that have a bit more longevity and that’s what OPP offered me.”
Kane left Spurs after 19 years at the club during the summer to Munich on a £100million deal.
He then continued to say he wanted to get his new teammates on board with his new brand.
Kane added: “I will have to take a load of the headphones into the Bayern Munich boys and get them using it.
“Hopefully, we can build a bit of a profile for the brand.”
