Andy Irving leaves Hearts transfer return door open as he savours life in Austria

He's loving life away from home at the minute - but running out at Hearts again remains an ambition of midfielder Andy Irving.

The 21-year-old took a step into the unknown in 2021 by moving to Germany from his boyhood Jambos with Türkgücü München, but that soon turned sour as they filed for insolvency earlier this year. It resulted in another decision on his future but Irving has opted to stay abroad and is now thriving in the Austrian Bundesliga at Austria Klagenfurt.

There have been big game experiences for him like featuring against Champions League round of 16 side Red Bull Salzburg as well as a new culture to get used to. It might have been easy for him to turn his attentions back to Scotland's Premiership after time in Germany went awry, but the former Hearts star insists he was always keen to go where his playing style suited best. He's found it easy to settle into life at his current club as he hailed the great team spirit.
