Callum Sandilands has signed a new deal, Heart of Midlothian have announced.

The highly-rated midfielder has extended his contract with the Tynecastle Park club until 2027.

Sandilands was at Hearts as a kid before switching to Rangers. He returned to the club and has established himself as one of the B team's most important players. 

The contract demonstrates the faith the club have in the 19-year-old pushing on toward the first team with his ability to score goals from midfield, netting 33 across the past two and a bit seasons, including four in six games this campaign.

Hearts B head coach Liam Fox pinpointed his ability at arriving at the right time from midfield to score goals.

“Firstly, I’m delighted for Callum that he’s been rewarded for his consistent performances over the last 18 months," he told the club's official website. "His attitude and application has always been a benchmark for the younger players within the B Team squad to look towards.

“The ability for an attacking midfielder to arrive late in the box is a rarity in the modern game, but it’s a natural talent that Callum has always possessed. Like everyone in our group, he has things to improve on, but I know that this new contract will give him even more desire for when he returns from injury to keep working hard and hopefully force his way into the manager' thoughts.”
