Hearts have signed Bournemouth centre-half James Hill on loan until the end of the season.
The England Under-21 defender is a welcome addition to a Hearts squad struck by injuries, with central defender Craig Halkett again on the sidelines.
"It was always high on our priorities to get another defender in," said Hearts manager Robbie Neilson.
"James has fantastic experience of playing at a high level down south."
Hill, about to turn 21, made his Fleetwood Town debut in 2018 at only 16, before moving a year ago to Bournemouth for whom he has made four appearances.
