Tony Watt signs loan deal with Hearts

Charlton Athletic allow striker Tony Watt to sign a season-long loan deal with Hearts.

Striker Tony Watt has said that he is delighted to have secured a return to Scottish football with Hearts.

After initially bursting onto the scene with Celtic, Watt has spent the last three years in Belgium and England, but the Scotland international has indicated that he was pleased to be heading back north of the border after leaving Charlton Athletic on a season-long loan deal.

The 22-year-old told Hearts TV: "I'm still young and I've got a large chunk of my career ahead of me. This is a big club and I want to come back to Scotland, play games and get a bit of stability.

"I had a stop-start season last year for a variety of reasons, both in terms of injury and being out on loan at a few clubs. I'm not far away in terms of fitness, I'm ready to go and just need game time really."

During his time with Celtic, Watt scored seven times in 25 appearances in the Scottish Premiership.
