Jason Stewart Hart (born 5 September 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward.
Hart came through the youth ranks at local club Blackburn Rovers, though would depart without first-team experience and would subsequently take a football break.[4] After a trial with Accrington Stanley, Hart would return with Rossendale United before featuring in the Accrington Combination League with Church Town.[4] A move to Colne would follow, where he'd score over twenty goals in the 2012–13 North West Counties Football League Premier Division.[4] Hart had a stint with Padiham after leaving Colne, prior to signing with Clitheroe in 2014.[4] [5] He spent one season with the Northern Premier League Division One North club, before being sacked.[6]
In 2015, Hart rejoined Colne for a second spell.[7] Thirty-four goals would follow in the 2015–16 NWCFL as Colne won the title and promotion to the Northern Premier League division that he played in for Clitheroe.[8] In June 2016, Hart secured a contract across the competition with recently relegated Ramsbottom United.[9] Upon leaving Ramsbottom, Hart appeared for Nelson and, for a second time, Padiham.[7] [10] October 2017 saw Hart head to Northwich Victoria of the NWCFL.[10] However, the forward would return to Padiham in the succeeding March.[11] He would be on the move again within months, penning terms with Longridge Town.[12]
Hart, after thirty goals for Longridge, switched England for Bhutan in June 2019, as he joined Premier League side Thimphu City; managed by fellow Englishman Josh Shepherd.[13] [14] He scored on his competitive debut against Druk Star, with another goal following in his second match versus Paro.[13] [14] [15] Hart scored twenty goals and assisted nine more for Thimphu City.[16] Hart departed at the end of 2019, subsequently joining I-League team Punjab.[17] [18] He departed Punjab in January 2020 after five appearances.[19] [20] Soon after, Hart signed with Australian Victorian State League Division 2 outfit Doncaster Rovers.[21] On 9 May 2021, Hart debuted for NPL side St Albans Saints.[22]
In April 2015, Hart was dismissed by Clitheroe F.C. after he was recorded having sex with a woman in the away dugout while wearing their training kit after a league match. The video was circulated widely across social media.[7] [6] Anne Barker, chairwoman of Clitheroe, said Hart brought the club into disrepute and he was dismissed following the incident.[23]
He separated from his partner and moved overseas shortly after the incident.
Hart has one son.
