Livingston captain Craig Halkett has signed a pre-contract agreement to join Hearts this summer.

The 23-year-old defender will make the move to Tynecastle on a three-year contract in June, once his contract with Livingston expires.

Hearts manager Craig Levein said: "I'm delighted that Craig has committed to signing for Hearts.

"He's a talented player and, at 23-years-old, is at an age where he can continue to develop and progress.

"This club is the right place for him to do so and I look forward to welcoming him in the summer."

Halkett, who came through the youth system at Rangers, has made 36 appearances for Livingston this season, scoring five goals.
