SNS GroupYoung Hearts defender Adam Forrester has signed a new deal with the club after breaking into the first team at Tynecastle.
The 19-year-old made his debut in September during Liam Fox’s spell as caretaker manager but he has maintained his first team involvement under new head coach Neil Critchley.
The academy graduate was in the last year of his existing contract with the club but Hearts have now tied him down in a deal that runs until the summer of 2027 and Critchley believes he can continue to develop in that time.
“Adam has progressed excellently this season and we are pleased to have rewarded his development with this contract extension,” Critchley told the Hearts official website.
“We’ve got an exciting crop of youth who show all the qualities required to make it into the first-team environment.
“Credit has to go to the club’s academy coaching staff who helped nurture Adam’s development and, of course, to Liam Fox for bringing him into the first-team fold.
“I’m very happy he’s signed this extension and I look forward to working with him over the coming weeks and months as his development continues.”
