Hearts winger Andrew Driver is delighted to have secured his long-term future at Tynecastle by signing a new five-year contract.

The 20-year-old had been linked with a move away from the SPL club this summer, but Driver is pleased to have put such talk to bed.

He told the club's official website: "I am obviously delighted to get the formalities out the way and concentrate on my foot ball.

"We've been negotiating for a while and now I just want to get on the pitch and show the people who had faith in me that I am worth it.

"Hopefully it shows I am doing something right. It is all about improvement now. I can settle down and not worry about anything else.

"It takes out the transfer rumours and now I can concentrate 100 per cent on improving my game and giving 100 per cent for Hearts."

Driver has scored eight goals in 51 appearances for the Jambos to date.
