Calem Nieuwenhof admits the seeds of his Hearts transfer were sown five years ago on a visit to the capital. The midfielder has penned a three-year deal at Tynecastle and will wear the No.
8 shirt this season. Nieuwenhof joins fellow Aussies Kye Rowles, Nathaniel Atkinson and Cammy Devlin in Steven Naismith's squad.
He's been well versed in all things Hearts already though, having played with Scottish Cup winning hero Ryan McGowan at Sydney FC before making the move across town to Western Sydney Wanderers, where he was a teammate of former Jambo Oli Bozanic last season.
But it was a game in Gorgie back in 2018 that gave Nieuwenhof a taste of the Tynecastle experience and that left him wanting more.
