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, and in his first full season at the club he was named PFA Young Player of the Year. 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. Kane registered his best campaign statistically to date in the 2017–18 season, with 41 goals scored in 48 games across all competitions, and in the following season, he finished as a runner-up in the UEFA Champions League. He ended the 2020–21 season as the league's top goalscorer and top assist provider.
In 2023, Kane became the most expensive signing in Bundesliga history, costing €110 million, as he signed for Bayern Munich. In his debut season, he scored 36 league goals, clinching a first European Golden Shoe.
Kane has scored 71 goals in 105 appearances for England. 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. Kane featured and scored during England's successful UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, and represented the country at the tournament. He was named England captain just before the 2018 FIFA World Cup, in which he finished as the competition's top goalscorer, winning the Golden Boot, leading England to fourth place, their highest finish since 1990. He led England to the runner-up position at UEFA Euro 2020, marking their first appearance in a 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.

Kane also said: "Most of my family were Spurs fans and I grew up 15 minutes from the ground, so I was always going to be a Spurs fan".

Kane first played for a local club, Ridgeway Rovers, and joined the Arsenal youth academy when he was eight years old.

In his early days at Tottenham, Kane did not stand out as a player as he was neither big nor was he particularly quick, but those who worked with him noted his constant desire to improve various aspects of his game. A couple of years after joining, he had a large growth spurt that made him taller and physically stronger.{{Cite web |title=Harry Kane: Tottenham star on how to make it as a top striker |url=https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11791817/harry-kane-tottenham-star-on-how-to-make-it-as-a-top-striker|access-date=27 June 2020 |website=Sky Sports|archive-date=20 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200820104546/https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11791817/harry-kane-tottenham-star-on-how-to-make-it-as-a-top-striker|url-status=live}} In the 2008–09 season, he played in the under-16s side that competed in the Copa Chivas tournament in Mexico, and the Bellinzona tournament in Switzerland, scoring three goals.{{cite web |title=Unearth themselves a striking gem |date=10 September 2010 |url=http://www.footballfancast.com/football-blogs/harry-kane-tottenham-unearth-themselves-a-striking-gem |publisher=Footballfancast |access-date=21 March 2015 |archive-date=21 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150421143020/http://www.footballfancast.com/football-blogs/harry-kane-tottenham-unearth-themselves-a-striking-gem |url-status=live}} In July 2009, on his 16th birthday, he signed a scholarship contract with Tottenham.{{cite book |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VH2pDgAAQBAJ&pg=PT10 |title=Harry Kane – The Biography |first=Frank |last=Worrall |isbn=9781786065384 |chapter=Chapter 1: Beginnings |publisher=John Blake Publishing Ltd |date=18 May 2017 |access-date=12 January 2018 |archive-date=30 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231030225441/https://books.google.com/books?id=VH2pDgAAQBAJ&pg=PT10 |url-status=live}}

Kane's former youth coach Alex Inglethorpe has said of him:
When he first came into the under-18s as a 15 year old, he stood out in the sense he looked a bit gangly. He moved slightly awkwardly, he was a bit cumbersome. But look closer, he had a lot of ability, a great technique. I think he surprised people how good he was. Tactically he was very flexible. He often played in midfield. I remember seeing him once playing as a holding midfielder.
While a teenager, Kane initially struggled in Tottenham's academy, as partially due to his date of birth in July and the so-called Relative Age Effect,{{cite web |url= https://summerbornchildren.org/2020/03/18/sports-initiative-helps-young-players-overcome-birth-month-disadvantage/ |title=Sports Initiative Helps Young Players Overcome Birth Month Disadvantage |website=summerbornchildren.org |date=18 March 2020 |access-date=24 September 2024}} he was not as physically developed as other players, nor was he as quick.

The report also noted that he had good pace, but was weak in the air and had not scored on his loan at Norwich.

Under Pochettino, Kane said that his game has improved through the tough training techniques instituted by the manager.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/31852098 |title=Pochettino key to my improvement – Kane |date=13 March 2015 |website=BBC Sport |access-date=12 February 2018 |archive-date=30 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231030225433/https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/football/31852098 |url-status=live}} He also strives to achieve marginal gain to maximise his potential by tweaking various aspects of his training and preparations as well as nutrition.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/oct/04/harry-kane-england-marginal-gains |title=Harry Kane turns to kitchen rather than training ground for England recipe |first=Dominic |last=Fifield |newspaper=The Guardian |location=London |date=4 October 2017 |access-date=2 February 2018 |archive-date=2 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180202152512/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/oct/04/harry-kane-england-marginal-gains |url-status=live}}

Former Tottenham manager David Pleat described Kane as an "old-fashioned traditional centre-forward". Clive Allen, who coached him at Tottenham, stated that "one thing I'd say about him, which unfortunately you don't say about a lot of young footballers, is that he had a passion for the game. He loves football, he loves playing, he loves scoring goals". His former Tottenham under-21 coach Les Ferdinand likened Kane's movement to their former forward Teddy Sheringham, and the power and accuracy of his shots to Alan Shearer.

After Tottenham's victory over Chelsea in January 2015, blogger Chris Miller wrote, "Nobody thought he was the guy who was going to give that performance against Chelsea". In February 2015, BBC Sport wrote that Kane was best as a lone striker, with his "hold-up play and close control" making him apt in other positions as well.{{cite news |last=McNulty |first=Phil |title=Harry Kane: England's next number nine? |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31395579 |access-date=11 February 2015 |website=BBC Sport |date=10 February 2015 |archive-date=12 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150212061820/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31395579 |url-status=live}} Also that month, Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy said that the England team should be built around Kane, stating, "I'm struggling to see a weakness in the lad's game".{{cite news |title=Harry Kane: Build England around striker – Murphy |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31204958 |access-date=8 February 2015 |website=BBC Sport |date=8 February 2015 |archive-date=9 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150209222137/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31204958 |url-status=live}}
In August 2018, ESPN reporter Michael Cox said that "Kane was initially considered a pure goal scorer, he's actually a good all-round player, often playing as an attacking midfielder", stating that during the 2018 FIFA World Cup "Kane's contributions in deeper positions were outstanding, his back-to-goal work as impressive as ever".{{cite news |title=Harry Kane's versatility for Tottenham makes him more than a pure goal scorer |date=17 August 2018 |access-date=17 August 2018 |first=Michael |last=Cox |publisher=ESPN |url=http://www.espn.co.uk/football/club/tottenham-hotspur/367/blog/post/3600185/harry-kanes-versatility-for-tottenham-makes-him-more-than-a-pure-goal-scorer |archive-date=17 August 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180817161250/http://www.espn.co.uk/football/club/tottenham-hotspur/367/blog/post/3600185/harry-kanes-versatility-for-tottenham-makes-him-more-than-a-pure-goal-scorer |url-status=live}} Indeed, although Kane is predominantly known for his clinical finishing and prolific goalscoring ability as an out-and-out striker, he is also known for his vision, technique, link-up play, and passing ability, which enables him to drop deep, bring his teammates into play, and create chances for other players; he is therefore also capable of playing in a more creative role as a false 9 or even as a number 10.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.si.com/thecauldron/2015/10/22/tottenham-harry-kane-english-premier-league-goals |title=Unlucky Tottenham striker Harry Kane is poised for a goal-scoring binge |magazine=Sports Illustrated |last1=Thomsen |first1=Blake |date=22 October 2015 |access-date=6 October 2019 |archive-date=6 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191006144120/https://www.si.com/thecauldron/2015/10/22/tottenham-harry-kane-english-premier-league-goals |url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=https://www.squawka.com/en/features/explained-harry-kanes-role-england-spurs |title=Harry Kane's role change for England & Spurs explained |publisher=squawka.com |last1=Edwards |first1=Harry |date=24 March 2019 |access-date=6 October 2019 |archive-date=6 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191006144117/https://www.squawka.com/en/features/explained-harry-kanes-role-england-spurs |url-status=live}}{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/11428129/Tottenham-striker-Harry-Kanes-all-round-ability-is-as-key-as-his-finishing-in-England-cause.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220111/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/11428129/Tottenham-striker-Harry-Kanes-all-round-ability-is-as-key-as-his-finishing-in-England-cause.html |archive-date=11 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Tottenham striker Harry Kane's all-round ability is as key as his finishing in England cause |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |last1=Hayward |first1=Paul |date=22 February 2015 |access-date=6 October 2019}}{{cbignore}}{{cite web |url=https://www.squawka.com/en/premier-league-player-role-changes/ |title=Roles reinvented: Seven players who have undergone a tactical readjustment this season |publisher=Squawka |date=14 December 2020 |access-date=29 October 2021 |archive-date=29 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211029003730/https://www.squawka.com/en/premier-league-player-role-changes/ |url-status=live}} As such, in 2022, Sam McGuire of Opta Sports identified him as "the most creative number 9 in the world."{{Cite web |last=Someoddpilot |first=Devs |date=10 December 2022 |title=How Harry Kane Turned Into the Most Creative Number 9 in the World |url=https://theanalyst.com/2022/12/how-harry-kane-turned-into-the-most-creative-number-9-in-the-world/ |access-date=19 February 2023 |website=The Analyst |archive-date=19 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230219130707/https://theanalyst.com/2022/12/how-harry-kane-turned-into-the-most-creative-number-9-in-the-world/ |url-status=live}} Additionally, he is also known for his defensive work-rate,{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55390827 |title=Why Kane is the ultimate team player – Shearer analysis |website=BBC Sport |last1=Shearer |first1=Alan |authorlink=Alan Shearer |date=22 December 2020 |access-date=29 October 2021 |archive-date=29 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211029004853/https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55390827 |url-status=live}} and is an accurate penalty taker.{{cite web |url=https://www.skysports.com/football/news/15122/11506011/harry-kane-the-premier-leagues-top-penalty-taker |title=Harry Kane: The Premier League's top penalty taker |website=Sky Sports |last1=Smith |first1=Peter |date=23 September 2018 |access-date=1 July 2020 |archive-date=1 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200701135329/https://www.skysports.com/football/news/15122/11506011/harry-kane-the-premier-leagues-top-penalty-taker |url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49623572 |title=Harry Kane: England striker takes up to '50 penalties' a practice session |website=BBC Sport |date=7 September 2019 |access-date=1 July 2020 |archive-date=12 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191112103021/https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49623572 |url-status=live}}
