Hart played as a right-handed lower middle order batsman in his three games for Somerset at the start of the 1930 season. In his first innings, in the match against Warwickshire at Edgbaston he was second highest scorer with 16 out of a total of just 89.[2] But this proved to be the highest score of his career and after two further games, he dropped out of the team and did not play first-class cricket again.

By profession, he was a chartered accountant and was a partner for a firm in Bristol; he played club cricket for Bath Cricket Club.[3]
