Chile international Mauricio Pinilla has pledged his long-term future to Hearts by penning a three-year deal.
The 24-year-old had been owned jointly by the Jambos and Internazionale, but the Tynecastle-based side have agreed to buy him outright.
Pinilla has made only eight first-team appearances for Hearts in his two seasons with the club and has not started a game since September 2006.
The player's agent, Hugo Rubio, told the Edinburgh Evening News. "Mauricio has signed for another three years. He's happy and is looking forward to staying in Scotland."
