Harry Stone has signed a new contract at Hearts.
The highly-rated goalkeeper has put pen to paper on a new one-yer contract until the summer of 2024, with the option to extend that deal by one further season. He was a regular for the B team in the Lowland League last term and impressed with a number of eye-catching saves across the season.
The 21-year-old has previously spent time away from the club on loan at Albion Rovers and Partick Thistle before his solid campaign in nets for the B squad this term. The youngster now aims to kick on at Tynecastle - a hope shared by Sporting Director Joe Savage as the capital club tie down yet another young prospect.

Speaking to the official Hearts website, he said: “It’s another good one from the academy. Harry is a player that’s been spoken about in glowing terms for a number of years now.
"He’s an upcoming goalkeeper that has the potential to follow the same path as Craig Gordon did all those years ago.
“We believe that Harry’s had a good mix of experience now between playing for the B Team alongside loans at Albion Rovers and Partick Thistle. Some of those loans have been successful, and others haven’t – but it’s all been beneficial to his development.
“Goalkeepers can have excellent careers, just look at Craig, and we hope that Harry can replicate that. We’re really pleased to get him signed and looking forward to watching him kick-on next season.”
