Hearts have completed the signing of former Wigan Athletic midfielder Don Cowie.
Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes had been interested in bringing the former Scotland midfielder to Pittodrie, however, he has now penned a deal with Hearts until May 2018.
Speaking to Hearts News, head coach Robbie Neilson said: “I’m delighted to get Don signed up. He’ll bring experience to the table, which is invaluable when you’re trying to blood younger players into the first team.
“He’s played in the Scottish top flight before so knows our game, and he’s played at the highest level down south and won a Championship, so I know he’s a winner.
“Having played in England, he’ll show the players here the level they’ll have to get to if they have aspirations to play there themselves.
“He’s a great capture and I’m certain he’ll prove to be great value for this club.”
