Robert Snodgrass has completed his free transfer to Hearts.
Robbie Neilson has moved to sign the veteran midfielder on a one-year deal as he boosts his ranks with domestic and European football on the agenda from this coming week. The Jambos boss made it known that he wanted to add to his ranks towards the end of the transfer window and now the former Scotland international joins Zander Clark in moving to Gorgie in the last couple of days.
The 34-year-old will bring a wealth of experience to the squad having spent several years playing down south with the likes of Norwich City, Hull City, West Ham United and West Brom. He’ll now pull on the maroon for the 2022/23 campaign, and the manager told the official Hearts website: “I’m really pleased that we’ve been able to bring Robert in for the season.

“He’s got a huge amount of experience and has played at the highest level, both domestically and for his country.
“The knowledge he’ll bring to the squad, as well as his qualities on the pitch, will be invaluable and I’m looking forward to working with him.”
Sporting Director Joe Savage said: “Robert had offers elsewhere but after we spoke to him he decided that Hearts was the place to be, and we’re delighted that he’s here.
“He’s a household name in Scotland and has spent years playing at the top level in England, so it was too good an opportunity to pass up and as we’ve stated in the past, we’ll always bring in quality over quantity and wait for the right moment to do so.
“Robert coming in gives Robbie more options and squad depth for our domestic campaign, which is hugely important for us.
“We’ve got some really talented young players at this club and I hope that they are able to learn from Robert because he really does have a lot to offer.”
