Beginning his senior career with Tottenham Hotspur in 2009, Kane had loan spells out to clubs across the English football pyramid, including Leyton Orient, Millwall, Leicester City, and Norwich City. Kane's involvement at Tottenham increased after Mauricio Pochettino became head coach in 2014, being named PFA Young Player of the Year in the 2014–15 season. In the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons, Kane finished as the league's top goalscorer. In the latter campaign, he helped Tottenham finish as Premier League runners-up and was named PFA Fans' Player of the Year. In the 2018–19 season, Kane finished as Champions League runner-up and ended the 2020–21 season as the Premier League's top goalscorer (23) and top assist provider (14). In 2023, Kane became the most expensive signing in Bundesliga history as he joined Bayern Munich in a transfer worth €110 million. In his debut season, he scored 36 league goals, winning the European Golden Shoe, and in the following season, he earned his first major trophy, winning the Bundesliga.

Kane has scored 78 goals in 112 appearances for England, making him their all-time top goalscorer. He appeared more than 30 times at youth international level and made a goalscoring debut with the senior team in March 2015, at age 21.

He led England to the runner-up position at UEFA Euro 2020, marking their first appearance in the final at the tournament and their first major final since 1966. At Euro 2024, Kane finished as the tournament's joint-top scorer as he again captained England to the final.
