Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon commits future to Hearts by signing new contract extension
His deal had been due to expire this summer
Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon has put an end to speculation surrounding his future by signing a new contract with Hearts.
The 39-year-old's deal was due to expire at the end of this season, but the extension runs until the summer of 2024.
The Jambos captain has enjoyed a run in the national side since returning to Tynecastle, the club where he began his career.
Manager Robbie Neilson told Hearts' website: "I'm really happy that Craig has committed his future to the club.
"He's been such an important part of the journey we started last season and the exciting thing is that we've only just started, so to have Craig with us on it is great news.
"I've said it many times but he makes the sublime look easy and I now just expect him to make saves, no matter how ridiculous they are. He is a world-class goalkeeper and we're lucky to have him."
Hearts' sporting director Joe Savage said: "It's fantastic to have Craig commit his future to us.
"We speak a lot about bringing the right players to this club and in Craig we have not only a world-class player, but a leader. He's respected by everyone inside and outside the dressing room and he is a fantastic role model for our younger players.
"He is the backbone of Hearts and I know the fans will be delighted he's going to continue pulling on that famous jersey for years to come."
