Euan Henderson has paid an emotional tribute to Hearts after helping him realise his dream of becoming a professional footballer.
The young striker - who spent the second half of last season in the Scottish Championship on loan at Queen's Park - is departing Tynecastle after nine years. He has hailed the amazing people he has came across along the way and the special memories made that will last with him forever. Last season alone, Robbie Neilson handed him minutes in the Europa Conference League group stage against the likes of Fiorentina and Basaksehir.
Now, he will continue his journey at Hamilton Accies as he bids to get the club back to Scotland's second tier at the first time of asking following relegation to Scottish League One after defeat in the relegation play-offs.
