HEARTS youngster Nikolay Todorov has joined Cowdenbeath on loan until January, the club has announced.
The 19-year-old joined the Jambos this summer and played in a recent pre-season friendly against the Blue Brazil.
Todorov has had previous spells at Nottingham Forest, Worcester City and Hemel Hempstead, but failed to make an appearance in either of the capital club's recent Europa League ties.

The Bulgarian will team up with fellow Tynecastle youngster Lewis Moore at the League Two club as he looks to get some first team action.
A Cowdenbeath statement read: "Liam Fox has today further augmented his squad for 2016/17 with the loan signing of 19 year old striker Nikolay Todorov from Hearts.
"The loan will run until January and many will recall Nikolay from our recent friendly v Hearts where he played on with a bandage round his head after suffering a head knock.

"Nikolay was born on August 24 1996 in Pleven in Bulgaria. He came to the UK in 2014 when he joined Nottingham Forest from the Bulgarian club Cherno More Varna (the Black Sea club are nicknamed 'the Sailors').
"He was sent out on loan to Worcester City and Hemel Hempstead by Forest and then moved to Hearts at the start of this season. Nikolay is a hard-working striker with good aerial ability and it is a pleasure to welcome him now to Central Park.
"We thank Hearts for their assistance which is much appreciated by Cowdenbeath FC. With registration formalities now being processed, Nikolay may make his debut for us tonight at Arbroath."
