Hearts sign Polish defender Rafal Grzelak on free transfer

Hearts have made their third summer signing with the addition of Polish defender Rafal Grzelak.

The 28-year-old joins the Jambos after his contract with Polish top-flight side Korona Kielce expired.

Grzelak penned a two-year deal at Tynecastle and will join Ian Cathro's men for the start of pre-season training, subject to international clearance.

"For me, it's important that this club will be my home and I'm really excited to be here," Grzelak told the club website.

"I've had a really good impression from everybody that I've met here so far, and I've been told that the fans are fantastic."

The tough-tackling defender helped Korona Keilce to a fifth-place finish in Poland's Ekstraklasa last season.

He becomes Hearts' third new recruit of the summer, following the signings of Christophe Berra and Cole Stockton.
