SCOTTISH SIDE HEARTS have this afternoon confirmed the signing of Irish midfielder Aaron McEneff from Shamrock Rovers.

The 25-year-old Derry man has signed a two-and-a-half year deal with the Edinburgh club after two years in Dublin and a call-up to Stephen Kenny’s national setup.

“Aaron is someone that I’ve been looking at for the best part of four years and I’m delighted that we’ve been able to bring him to Hearts,” said Jambos sporting director Joe Savage.

“He’s been one of Ireland’s standout players for a couple of years now, evidenced by his recent international call up.

“I’m sure the fans are going to be excited by him; he’s really energetic, a box-to-box midfielder who can chip in with goals as well.”

After 18 goals for the Hoops, the Tallaght outfit wished McEneff well on his move.

“All at Shamrock Rovers thank Aaron for two great seasons at the club and wish Aaron all the best in his career in Scotland.”
