Kingsley: No Place Like Home

06 August 2024

Stephen Kingsley says the decision to remain at Hearts was a simple one after signing fresh terms at Tynecastle Park.

 

The popular 30-year-old will remain in Gorgie until 2027 after penning a new three-year-deal, and the defender explained the straightforward reasoning behind his decision to stay in EH11. 

 

“I’m delighted, it’s one that’s been talked about for a wee while, so I’m pleased it’s over the line and I can focus on the season ahead,” he told Hearts TV.

 

“A few conversations with the manager sealed the deal for me. To be honest, I’m really happy here. It’s an exciting time ahead with the way the club is going, for the fans and the players.

 

“We’ve built up a great momentum getting into Europe season after season, and we’re in a position where we can really kick on now. Off the pitch, it’s ideal for my family and I’ve got kids that love coming to the games at Tynecastle.

 

“I’ve had some great moments here, personally, so I’m hopeful that I can add to that as well. I’m as happy here as I’ve ever been in a long time. I’ve said it since the minute I arrived at the club, that the dressing room here is top notch.

 

“It’s looking like we’re going to have another enjoyable season with each other, and I’m delighted to be a part of it.”
