Harry Kane has joined the BT Sport team as its latest ambassador, with the England and Tottenham Hotspur striker set to feature in TV adverts for the new BT Sport channels as well as appearing as a guest on football shows.

The 22 year old scored 31 goals last season, including 21 in the Premier League, as well as scoring within 79 seconds on his England debut.

The young forward will star in BT Sport marketing for the channels, which this season will show 351 exclusively live games from the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.

Kane, who was last season’s PFA Young Player of the Year, joins the likes of former Spurs player Gareth Bale, Rio Ferdinand, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho as BT Sport ambassadors.

Kane said: “Last season was an incredible one for me and I am hoping to build on that this season for both Spurs and England. I am delighted to become a BT Ambassador and honoured to join the likes of Gareth Bale in the line-up.

“BT Sport is going to be showing an incredible programme of games this year, including 38 games in the Barclays Premier League and all the live European football. I hope Spurs can make it even better by going a long way in the UEFA Europa League.”

Simon Green, head of BT Sport, added: “Harry’s emergence from Spurs youngster to one of the most prolific and feared strikers in the Barclays Premier League was one of the great stories of last season. We are naturally thrilled to be working with Harry and to be associated with his amazing breakthrough. The Spurs fans relate to him as one of their own and we believe he will be an excellent ambassador for BT and that viewers will like his grounded and humble character.”
