Ian Black would welcome Paul Hartley joining him in the Hearts midfield as he eyes silverware this season. Hearts manager Jim Jefferies is looking to sign an attacking midfielder and is interested in the 33-year-old former Celtic player, who is available for transfer from Bristol City after finding it difficult to settle in England. Black said: "He scores goals and he would bring a few goals. His experience alone and all the clubs he has played for shows he`s a quality player. He`s got great ability, the boys know him and he knows the club. It would be a good addition. The former Inverness midfielder added: "It would be great to win something. We have definitely got the ability throughout the squad to do something this year. I would not rule out a bit of silverware." Meanwhile, Hearts majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov has been given the green light by the Lithuanian authorities to launch his bid for full ownership of UKIO Bankas, the financial institution that sponsors the club.
