Hearts have completed the signing of goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin, subject to international clearance.
The 29-year-old, who was released by Burton Albion at the end of last season, has signed a one-year deal at Tynecastle and may be available to face Motherwell on Saturday.
The Edinburgh-born 'keeper has spent his career in England where he played 300 games in total for Bradford City and Burton Albion.
McLaughlin said: "I'm really pleased and obviously really looking forward to signing for a massive club like this.
"It's my home town so it's a fantastic feeling and it has been great to be training with the lads for a few days, and I'm now just looking forward to getting on with the serious work.
"You always want to be at clubs where you're competitive and you're looking to achieve things.
"Obviously last year was a great year for us at Burton, going into the Championship, but ultimately as a footballer you want to win things.
"You don't want to be battling relegation or losing games so that's definitely part of it. Seeing such a strong set up here and a club that are moving again in the right direction that I want to become a part of and try and help."
