Hearts complete double signing of Conor Sammon and Faycal Rherras

ROBBIE NEILSON has continued reshaping his Hearts squad after tying up the captures of Conor Sammon and Faycal Rherras.

The Hearts head coach has completed the double signing a day after snaring former Kilmarnock and Dundee United forward Robbie Muirhead on a free transfer.

Striker Sammon – another former Killie frontman – joins the club after his contract at Derby expired and has penned a three-year contract at Tynecastle.

And Neilson has secured a new left-back after adding Faycal to his squad following a successful period at Belgian side Sint-Truiden, where he made 49 appearances over two seasons.

Both players could make their Jambos debuts when the Gorgie men kick-off their Europa League campaign on June 30.

Neilson told the club’s official website: “I’m delighted to get both players to Tynecastle.

“Conor brings a lot of experience to the squad. He knows the Scottish game well after a successful period at Kilmarnock and has played at the highest level down in England.

“Faycal is a player with real potential and will be a big boost to the defence. He’s played at a good level in Belgium and has been involved in the Moroccan international scene so it’s quite a coup to get him.

“Both players will add a lot to the squad and I’m looking forward to working with them.”
