Bailey Dall has completed a loan switch to Stirling Albion.
The left-sided defender will spend the season at Forthbank in League Two, managed by former Jambo Alan Maybury.
20-year-old Bailey was a mainstay in Liam Fox’s B Team last season, racking up 32 appearances and two goals as the Wee Jambos secured an impressive second place finish in the Lowland League.
After experiencing pre-season action with the first team this summer, Bailey will now continue his development with the Binos as he looks to get more competitive minutes under his belt.
Speaking to the Official Hearts Website, Head Coach Steven Naismith said: “This is a good opportunity for Bailey. He’s performed consistently over several seasons in the Lowland League, so now it's time for the next step.
"Getting those first team minutes comes by training well with Stirling, and producing performances that keeps him in the team, allowing him to return to us next summer as a better player.
"It's a good challenge for him and one where we'll follow his progress closely."
