HEARTS have announced their fourth signing of the January window as Derek McInnes bolsters his squad.
Islam Chesnokov, Jordi Altena and Marc Leonard have already signed for the Jambos, with the pre-contract signing of Rogers Mato announced earlier in the month.
It was then rather strangely revealed that Hearts may yet lose Mato, despite striking an agreement with the player as Sporting Kansas City had made a move for the player.
But, Hearts remained adamant that they had their man coming in in the summer.
Lawrence Shankland then picked up a lengthy injury, which prompted Hearts to make a move for Mato now.
And now the Tynecastle side have announced the Ugandan forward on a three-year contract from Vardar in North Macedonia.
