Valois quits Hearts
Hearts winger Jean-Louis Valois has departed Tynecastle and is set to move to Spain.
The Frenchman is set to sign for Spanish side Almeria after cancelling his contract at Hearts.
Hearts were willing to let the former Luton Town ace leave as they look to reduce their wage bill.
"We've allowed him to cancel his contract five months early," Hearts assistant boss Peter Houston told the club's official website.
"This makes him a free agent and he can sign for a club outside the transfer window.
"Jean-Louis did us a turn and he was good servant and a good trainer."
