jamboinglasgow Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/article/hearts-team-up-with-edinburgh-napier Sounds a very positive move, basically Napier will provide young players at Hearts (as well as Hibs, Rangers and Celtic) a part time course that is tailored to professional footballers. It provides them with further education which should help players both if they are playing or dont go on in football. Think its something that can be difficult for young players who leave school at 16 to take a chance at a proffesional football career, if it doesn't work out they have missed out on education and can hamper future careers. So having like this is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidd’s Boots Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 A great opportunity for many youngsters to put foundations in for their futures in or out with football, and as my alma mater, its good to see Napier involved with this.

So having like this is good. I said this years ago. We should take it further and offer young talented foreign players Edinburgh Uni courses paid for by Hearts as long as they train and play for us (assuming they qualify of course). good start though.

World class Univerities in Edinburgh along with the best club on the planet! Whats not to like? Agreed .. Shame it has taken 16 years to make discussions back then a reality for Academy attendees. I know some of the parents back then were excited at the prospect of their son experiencing a University Campus as a place to develop and learn.

martinb Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 The Hearts players will be in class, Rangers and Celtic outside in the playground shouting sectarian abuse at each other and the Hibs players behind the bike shed having a fag.
