After joining Manchester City from Shrewsbury in 2006 the England international established himself as the number onekeeper at the club, only to fall behind in the pecking order following Given's arrival in February 2009.
Hart and James were no doubt hoping to outdo each other in the race to be named as England's number onekeeper for the World Cup, but a lack of chances certainly reduced their opportunities to impress.
