Malachi Boateng has completed a permanent transfer to Plymouth Argyle.
The midfielder leaves Hearts to join the EFL Championship side for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.
22-year-old Malachi arrived at Tynecastle Park last summer from Crystal Palace and went on to make 28 appearances in a maroon jersey.
Speaking to the Official Hearts Website, Head Coach Neil Critchley said: “We’ve enjoyed working with Mal these past few months.
“Similar to Daniel Oyegoke before him, this is a move that makes sense for all parties involved. Mal has an opportunity to continue his career down south and it’s a good deal for us, so we wish him well at Plymouth.
“We are happy with the work we have done during January as we now look forward to the next phase of the season in good form.”
