Hearts have announced that former Dundee United and Rangers striker Jon Daly is to become the club’s new under 20s coach when his present contract at Raith Rovers ends in January.

The 32-year-old former Republic of Ireland U21 internationalist will bring a wealth of experience to the Tynecastle youngsters.

Hearts Director of Football Craig Levein told the club’s official website: “I’m delighted that Jon has agreed to join the club in January and take up the post of U20s coach.

“Jon is somebody that both myself and Robbie Neilson know from our respective times at Dundee United and it’s an exciting appointment.

“We believe he has all the attributes to develop into a great coach and we look forward to welcoming him in January.”
