My family was the most important thing.[LNB]"I had offers elsewhere but my family has to come first at the end of the day.[LNB]"Hearts is a good club to go to and I can't wait to get started. I'm pleased to be meeting up with Jim and Billy (Brown) again because they helped me a lot when I left Coventry.[LNB]"I went back up the road to Kilmarnock and had a good season and a half under them so it will be good to team up with them again. Hopefully I can do what I did for them at Kilmarnock."
