Hearts have completed the signing of Nigeria international Juwon Oshaniwa.

The move, which is subject to international clearance, sees the left-back sign a three-year deal at Tynecastle.

The 24-year-old, who spent the last three years at Israeli club Ashdod, joined his new team-mates in training for the first time on Saturday morning.

Oshaniwa played in all of Nigeria’s matches at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, including against Lionel Messi and Argentina.
