STEPHEN KINGSLEY is set to become the latest big name to commit his future to Hearts after Craig Halkett penned a new deal.

The left-back is on the verge of agreeing a long-term extension, with Jambos sporting director Joe Savage in talks with him.

Kingsley, 27, is out of contract in the summer but is set to join Craig Gordon and Halkett in committing to the Tynecastle club long-term.

However, winger Jamie Walker is on the way out of Gorgie after joining Bradford City on loan.

Defender Halkett penned a new two-year deal that will keep him in Gorgie until the summer of 2024.

The 26-year-old said: “It is great to get it sorted because it has been a wee while. I am just delighted.

"It was always something I had at the back of my mind that I wanted to stay. It takes time to sort these things out but now that we have I am really happy and looking forward to progressing my career at Hearts.
