Heart of Midlothian are set to sign goalkeeper Ryan Fulton.

The 28-year-old will make the switch to Tynecastle Park when his contract with Hamilton Academical expires. Hearts Standard understands he will sign a two-year deal.

Fulton has made more than 120 appearances over seven years at Accies. He joined the club from Liverpool in 2017 and has experience playing in the Premiership during his time in South Lanarkshire.

Last week, Hearts announced that experienced goalkeeper Michael McGovern will depart following the expiry of his deal. Fulton, a former Scotland Under-21 international, will be expected to provide depth to the goalkeeping ranks with Zander Clark and Craig Gordon both under contract.

His presence will allow the younger goalkeepers at the club to gain further experience on loan or play with Liam Fox's B team. Liam McFarlane won the Players' Player of the Year award this season with the B team while Harry Stone impressed on loan at Queen of the South, picking up a fan award for his contribution.

Fulton will join the expected arrivals of Yan Dhanda, James Penrice and Blair Spittal who are set to arrive this summer ahead of the new season.
