"I'm pleased that we've been able to get the deal done and welcome Scott into the squad," said manager Steven Naismith.

"He's a great character, has got bags of experience and knows Scottish football well so he should settle in quickly.

"He'll bring an aggressiveness to our attack in that he always wants to get forward. He's consistently scored goals and provided lots of assists, both in Scotland and England, and the hope is that he'll be able to do the same for Hearts as we look to continue our good run of form."

Sporting director Joe Savage added: "It's obviously no secret that we've been trying to bring Scott in for a while and sometimes these things take time, but we're delighted to get it done and I have to give a big thanks to Will Thornton and Omni Sports for all of their help.

"Scott's had to be patient but now he can be fully involved with the first team and get the chance to show our fans what he is capable of on the pitch.

"I'm also really pleased that we've been able to support the manager in identifying the positions we need to strengthen and then being able to deliver his targets.

"We're in a good place and everyone is looking forward to continuing the positivity into the latter part of the season."
