Hearts have further strengthened their squad by signing Andrius Velicka and Kestutis Ivaskevicius on season-long loans from FBK Kaunas.
Striker Velicka and winger Ivaskevicius both trained with the Jambos during pre-season and featured in the 2-0 friendly victory against Osasuna.
There was more good news for Hearts when 18-year-old midfielder Andrew Driver put pen to paper on a new five-year contract at Tynecastle.
Driver, who marked his SPL debut with a goal in the 4-1 win against Inverness last weekend, told the club's official website: "They have said I have got a good chance and they have said that if I prove myself they will try me out.
"I'm here for a long time so I am looking forward to the challenge."
Meanwhile, Denis McLaughlin has joined Berwick Rangers on loan until January.
