Hearts Sign Striker Gavin Reilly From Queen Of The South

Published 23rd Jun 2015

Former Queen of the South striker Gavin Reilly admitted he was overwhelmed'' at Hearts' pursuit of him after he finally completed his move to Tynecastle.

The 22-year-old has signed a three-year deal with the Premiership newcomers after Hearts agreed a development fee with Queens.

The Dumfries-born forward scored 15 goals last season and is looking to progress in the top flight under Robbie Neilson.

Reilly, who has more than 100 first-team appearances under his belt, told Hearts TV: It was a wee bit overwhelming; a club the size of Hearts being interested in me, it's brilliant.

"Credit to myself for the performances I was putting in last season, hopefully I can do the fans justice and the club justice for coming to sign me."
