England under-21 goalkeeper Joe Hart will definitely spend next season on loan at Birmingham after his club Manchester City confirmed the deal.
The 22-year-old has been seeking first-team football since being squeezed out at Eastlands by the arrival of Shay Given in January.
Hart, who is away on international duty with the under-21s at the European Championships in Sweden, has one senior cap and wants to be playing regularly in the build-up to the World Cup.
