Midfielder Finlay Pollock has joined Championship club Raith Rovers on a season-long loan after after signing a new two-year deal with Hearts.

The 20-year-old, who is now under contract at Tynecastle until summer 2026, has featured seven times for the Hearts first team, including one appearance last season.

Having been hampered by injury in the last two years, Pollock moves to Kirkcaldy in search of more game-time, with Hearts holding the option to recall him in January.

“Since working with Finlay at B team level, I’ve been highly impressed by not just his ability, but also his attitude,” said Hearts head coach Steven Naismith.

“Finlay’s desire to work his way back to full fitness reflects that attitude. I’m delighted that he’s committed his future to the club.

“The next step for Finlay is to gain regular minutes at a high level like Raith Rovers, by training well during the week and putting in good performances on matchdays.

“I fully expect Finlay to be pushing for a place in our first team in the near future. We look forward to welcoming him back to Tynecastle having had good competitive minutes.”
