Hearts transfer exit approaching as Robbie Neilson provides 'rumblings in the background' update

Aaron McEneff could be heading to Perth Glory after Hearts boss Robbie Neilson confirmed he could be heading out of Edinburgh.

The midfielder joined Hearts from League of Ireland side Shamrock Rovers in February 2021 and has made 36 appearances since that move. Minutes were limited last term and he played 90 minutes in a Premiership match just once, scoring three times with two assists overall. A report emerged earlier this week stating talks were underway between Perth Glory and Hearts about a move for the Irish midfielder this summer.

McEneff has informed Neilson that he wants to move on for regular minutes this summer and his boss wishes him well. He told the Edinburgh Evening News : "Potentially he could be going, there are some rumblings in the background with that, there’s been contact there with the clubs and Aaron as well. Aaron has indicated that he wants to go and play regularly.

"He probably didn’t get as much football as he would have liked here, sometimes that’s part of football. If this goes through we’ll wish him all the best.”

It's been a busy summer at Tynecastle with Lewis Neilson, Alan Forrest, Kye Rowles, Jorge Grant and Alex Cochrane all signing.
