Club career
Chelsea
Kane joined Chelsea at under-8 level and progressed through the youth system at the club.[3] He signed his first professional contract with the club in July 2011.[4] He was a part of the side that won the 2011–12 FA Youth Cup, beating Blackburn Rovers in the final.[3]
In November 2012, he joined Football League One side Preston North End on loan until January 2013.[5] He made his professional debut on 24 November 2012, in a 2–0 defeat to Leyton Orient.[6] He made a total of five appearances in all competitions during his time at Deepdale.[7]
On 9 January 2013, he signed for Blackburn Rovers on a one-month loan deal.[8][9] He made his debut for Rovers on 11 January in a 1–1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.[10] On 15 March 2013, Blackburn re-signed Kane on another month-long loan deal.[11] Kane later extended his contract with Blackburn until the end of the 2012–13 season.[12] On 25 April 2013, Kane signed a new contract with Chelsea, keeping him at the club until 2016.[13] On 25 June 2013, Kane rejoined Blackburn on loan for the entire 2013–14 Football League Championship season.[14] He scored his first professional goal against Barnsley on 24 August 2013 in a 5–2 win.[15] He scored his second goal for Blackburn in their 4–2 victory over Birmingham which turned out to be his last game for Blackburn.[15]
On 14 November 2014, Bristol City signed Todd on a two-month loan until 18 January 2015.[16] On 15 November 2014, Todd made his debut for Bristol City as a substitute for Scott Wagstaff in the 75th minute against Swindon Town, the game ended in a 1–0 loss for Bristol City.[17] On 7 December Todd made his first start for Bristol City against Telford United in the second round proper of the FA Cup, where Todd played the full 90 minutes; the game ended in a 1–0 win for Bristol City.[18] In the dying minutes, Todd suffered a shoulder injury from Godfrey Poku.[19][20]
After his loan spell at Bristol City expired, Kane was loaned to Championship club Nottingham Forest until the end of the 2014–15 season.[21] Kane made his debut for Nottingham Forest on 10 January 2015 against Sheffield Wednesday, which ended in a 2–0 loss for Forest.[17] After his debut, Kane made three consecutive start under the management of Stuart Pearce including a 2–1 away win against Derby County.[18] After Dougie Freedman replaced Stuart Pearce Kane's role in the squad was reduced greatly,[22] only making the bench twice and ending up as an unused substitute for both games.[18] On 7 March 2015, Kane returned to the starting line-up in the match against Middlesbrough; the match ended in a 2–1 win for Forest.[18] On 6 April 2015, Kane came off the bench replacing fellow goal-scorer, Tyler Walker, in the 75th minute against Brentford.[17] He scored from a cross Ben Osborn to the far post; though the two-goal lead was not enough for a win as Forest drew 2–2.[23]
On 3 August 2015, Kane signed a new three-year deal at Chelsea, therefore keeping him at the club until 2018.[24][25] Three days later, Kane joined NEC Nijmegen on a season-long loan to gain first team experience abroad.[26] On 12 August, Kane made his debut coming off the bench in a match against Excelsior which ended in a 1–0 win for NEC Nijmegen.[27] On 23 August, Kane made his first start in a 2–0 loss against Ajax.[27] Kane scored his first and only goal of the season in a 3–1 loss against FC Utrecht on 10 April 2016.[27] Kane's season was cut short when he suffered an injury during the game against PEC Zwolle on 20 April 2016.[28] Kane was stretched off the pitch in the closing stages of the game.[28] After an MRI scan, it was confirmed that Kane had torn his anterior cruciate ligament, ruling him out for 4–6 months.[28] On 23 September, Kane signed another new three-year, extending his stay until 2019.[29]
On 5 July 2017, following his recovery from a knee injury, Kane returned to the Netherlands to join FC Groningen on a season-long loan.[30] On the opening day of the season, he made his debut during Groningen's 3–3 draw with Heerenveen, replacing Mike te Wierik in the 83rd minute.[27] Two weeks later, Kane made his first start for Groningen during their 2–1 home victory over Utrecht.[27] On 30 January 2018, after only appearing in 12 games all season, Kane's loan spell with Groningen was terminated.[31] On 31 January 2018, Kane joined Oxford United on loan for the remainder of the season.[32][33]
On 17 July 2018, Kane joined Hull City on a season-long loan.[34] He made his debut in the first match of the season on 6 August 2018 at home to Aston Villa in a 1–3 defeat.[35] He turned down a new contract and departed Stamford Bridge at the end of the 2018–19 season,[36] after failing to win a call into a first team squad.[27]
