Hearts have signed defenders Aaron Hughes and Lenny Sowah on deals until the end of the season.

Both arrive at the Scottish Premiership club as free agents, centre-half Hughes after a brief spell in India and left-back Sowah after leaving Hamilton on Hogmanay.

Hughes' CV boasts 455 Premier League appearances and a further 103 international caps - the most of any outfield Northern Ireland player.
