aryea Kingston has revealed he may have played his last game for Hearts and looks set to leave the club when his contract expires this summer.[LNB] The Ghana midfielder will almost certainly need to take a pay cut if he is to stay at Tynecastle.[LNB]Kingston was applauded from the field during Hearts' last Scottish Premier League game of the season against Celtic.[LNB]He told Hearts.TV: "Normally, I'm very happy to stay here but because of one or two things - they promised me something would happen - I think it's the last game if nothing goes positive.[LNB]"I'm still waiting for them. If something goes well then hopefully they will see me again.[LNB]"I've had difficult times but, honestly, I've enjoyed every moment I've been in a Hearts shirt, even when I had difficult times.[LNB]"I still believed I could enjoy myself here."[LNB]Kingston has had an up-and-down relationship with Hearts supporters, who have questioned his commitment to the club in the past.[LNB]But the 29-year-old appears to have won them over in the last few months, judging by his reception on Sunday.[LNB]"I'm very happy with that," he said.[LNB]"When the fans were not happy with me, I don't blame them because they knew one side of the story.[LNB]"They deserved to boo me or say anything to me because they knew one side of the story. They don't know my side.[LNB]"One party was saying everything and always talking and I kept quiet. During that period, I don't blame them.[LNB]"I still believe that, if I had my chance again, I would prove to them that I still love this club and I would give everything I have for this club."[LNB]Kingston is now focusing his attention on Ghana's World Cup campaign.[LNB]"My season is not over," said the midfielder, who was banned for the last World Cup in Germany.[LNB]"Even last week, I was doing extra training sessions and my team-mates would be laughing at me.[LNB]"I said to them, 'Hey, my season is not over'. I have an important assignment in front of me, I have to stay fit and enjoy my football.[LNB]"It's a very important moment in my career because I missed the last World Cup, so this one is quite important for me."
