Ellis Simms has confirmed he would be "open" to extending his spell at Hearts beyond the end of the season.
The striker, on loan from Everton, was the hero for the Jam Tarts as he scored a screamer in their Scottish Cup semi-final win over Hibs.
The goal marked his fifth in maroon since arriving in January and he hasn't ruled out staying longer, but said ultimately the decision is down to his parent club.
