heartsfc_fan Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Happy with this. That's our defence pretty much sorted for next season (maybe another left back required) but apart from that looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute Scenes Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Great signing, doing business early which is what I like to see Question is: does he start? Like will he be a regular, or mostly off the bench? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamboscanbevicius Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Excellent signing in the mould Aberdeen have made for several seasons to strengthen and consolidate. Solid and proven SPFL player.

karipidis Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 People describing this as a solid, steady signing have obviously not watched much of him, as I think he is an outstanding signing. He is a fantastic defender who can get a good few goals as well, and has been a key part in Livingston(!) keeping 15 clean sheets. Surprised he has not gone to Old Firm or down south.

wavydavy Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 1 hour ago, Fultons Right Leg said: Hearts will sign Craig Halkett on a three-year deal in the summer after the defender today signed a pre contract. The Livingston captain will make the move to Tynecastle in June once his contract at the West Lothian side expires. Centre-half Craig has been a near ever present for Livi this season, making 36 appearances in all competitions and has scored five goals, including one against Hearts back in December. At the other end he’s been part of an impressive defence that has kept 15 clean sheets this campaign. The 23-year-old came through the youth system at Rangers and, after loan spells at Clyde and Berwick Rangers, joined Livingston in 2016. He was part of the successful side that won back-to-back promotions, winning the League One title in 2016/17 before skippering Livi to play-off success last season, booking their spot in this year’s Ladbrokes Premiership in the process. Capped at Scotland U19 level, Craig has made 144 appearances to date for Livingston, with 15 goals to his name. Speaking to the Official Hearts website about the move, manager Craig Levein said: “I’m delighted that Craig has committed to signing for Hearts. “He’s a talented player and, at 23-years-old, is at an age where he can continue to develop and progress. “This club is the right place for him to do so and I look forward to welcoming him in the summer.” That's more like it. A player who has been through the rigours of the SPFL and knows what it's all about so need for bedding in other than getting to know his team-mates. Have been impressed with him anytime I have seen him and he looks very comfortable on the ball so hopefully reduce the need for the Berra style lump up the park.

He's exactly the type of player we should be signing, one of the better players from the other sides. Hopefully we can do that more often. If we aren't signing these types, who should we be after? Darren Mcgregor is more than decent as well, although Halkett looks more of a footballer and chips in with goals so that comparison is also a bit daft. He's also younger abd not had his injury record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
