Hearts manager Ian Cathro has bolstered his defensive options by capturing Slovenia international full-back Andraz Struna.
The 27-year-old right-back has joined Hearts on a six-month deal after leaving Greek side PAS Giannina, where he made nearly 90 appearances over a three-year period.
Struna, who has also played for Cracovia in the Polish top flight. has played 25 times for his country, scoring one goal against San Marino in a Euro 2016 qualifier.
His arrival continues a busy month down Gorgie Road that has seen Cathro recruit Northern Ireland international Aaron Hughes along with fellow defender Lennard Sowah and French midfielder Malaury Martin.
Defender Igor Rossi has joined Alim Ozturk through the out door, while full-back Callum Paterson is out for the rest of the season with knee ligament damage and Faycal Rherras is at the Africa Cup of Nations with Morocco.
