Stephen Humphrys has joined Hearts on a season-long loan from Wigan Athletic. The 24-year-old moves north from the English Championship in order to get more regular game time after the Latics' promotion to the Championship.
He's featured just twice in the English second tier and once in the EFL Cup, so has jumped at the opportunity to move to the Scottish capital.
Robbie Neilson was in desperate need of reinforcements up front after Liam Boyce's injury. The striker suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament in the Jambos' 302 win over St Johnstone at the weekend and will be out of action for several months as a result.
Transfer attention then immediately turned to the top end of the pitch, with Lawrence Shankland the only senior striker on the books at Tynecastle with Euan Henderson as back up.
