Hearts have signed French midfielder Malaury Martin on a free transfer.
The 28-year-old, whose previous clubs include Blackpool and Middlesbrough, has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal after leaving Norwegian club Lillestrom at the start of the month.
Martin, who usually plays as an attacking midfielder, is Hearts' latest January signing following short-term deals for Aaron Hughes and Lennard Sowah.
He told Hearts TV: "The facilities here are amazing and the club has amazing potential.
"I've played in the UK in the past and I've known about Hearts and the Scottish League for a long time.

"It’s a great feeling to be here, I’ve enjoyed my first day and I’m now eager to meet the players and start my first training. I hope to have a lot of success with this club."
Martin spent the 2010-11 season at Blackpool but was released without making a senior appearance and joined Middlesbrough, playing 18 times for the club in 2011-12.
