Heart of Midlothian is delighted to confirm that Hearts Academy graduates James Wilson and Adam Forrester have both signed new contracts.
James has penned a new deal until 2027, with potential extensions, while Adam has committed his future to the club until 2028.
Aged 18 and 20 respectively, the duo have enjoyed breakthrough campaigns at Tynecastle Park.
James cemented his place in the first-team squad and to date has scored six times, in the process becoming the club’s youngest ever goalscorer in Europe.
He was called up the national team and won his first ever full cap in last month’s Nations League play-off against Greece at Hampden.
Adam made his first team debut against Ross County in September, before making his European bow the following week in the 2-1 win over Dinamo Minsk in Azerbaijan.
Having made 28 appearances in maroon to date, Adam’s form was recognised by the national set up last month when he was called up to the Scotland U21 squad, and he would go on to win two caps.
The pair’s stories will now continue in Gorgie, and Head Coach Neil Critchley is pleased to get the futures of two of his rising stars sorted.
Speaking to the Official Hearts Website, he said; “It’s great news that both James and Adam have committed their futures to the club.
“They have both contributed massively to the first-team in their debut seasons and with more important games to come, we’re confident that their attitude towards learning and their desire to improve means that they have a big future at the club.
“It’s important to remember that neither are the finished article yet. They are young players who will continue to develop and the experiences they’ve encountered this season will be invaluable to their growth as first-team players.
“We’re very proud to see two Hearts Academy graduates rewarded with fully merited new contracts and great deal of credit goes to our academy staff.
“We look forward to watching them pull on the maroon shirt in the months and years ahead.”
