Barrie McKay wants longer Hearts stay as he reveals football finally doesn't feel like a chore

Hearts star Barrie McKay has revealed he’s keen to extend his stay in Edinburgh.

The in-form winger signed a two-year deal at Tynecastle last September, when he arrived as a free agent after leaving Swansea.

McKay’s been a revelation for Robbie Neilson’s side who have cemented third spot in the Premiership, netting his first goal last weekend against Livingston.

The 27-year-old is loving life in Gorgie and insists he’d be interested in committing his long-term future to the Jambos.

The former Rangers and Nottingham Forest wide man told MailSport: "I’m happy where I am.

"I’m not one of these people who thinks about leaving somewhere. I’m enjoying my football.

"It’s the first time in a long time I’ve been able to say it’s not a chore.

"We’ve been on such a high this season and it’s exciting to see how we can finish the campaign. I’d be open to staying longer at Hearts."
