ROBERT SNODGRASS has completed a free transfer move to sign for Hearts.

The former Scotland international agreed a deal at Tynecastle after leaving Luton over the summer.

Motherwell had been keen on a move for 34-year-old Snodgrass but the winger is headed for Edinburgh instead.

Snodgrass has signed a one-year deal to join Robbie Neilson's squad.

And the Hearts boss is thrilled to bolster his squad with Snodgrass who boasts Premier League and international experience.

He told the club website: “I’m really pleased that we’ve been able to bring Robert in for the season.

“He’s got a huge amount of experience and has played at the highest level, both domestically and for his country.

“The knowledge he’ll bring to the squad, as well as his qualities on the pitch, will be invaluable and I’m looking forward to working with him.”

And Joe Savage added: “Robert had offers elsewhere but after we spoke to him he decided that Hearts was the place to be, and we’re delighted that he’s here.

“He’s a household name in Scotland and has spent years playing at the top level in England, so it was too good an opportunity to pass up and as we’ve stated in the past, we’ll always bring in quality over quantity and wait for the right moment to do so.

“Robert coming in gives Robbie more options and squad depth for our domestic campaign, which is hugely important for us.

“We’ve got some really talented young players at this club and I hope that they are able to learn from Robert because he really does have a lot to offer.”
