Robbie Neilson has revealed Euan Henderson will stay at Hearts and be part of the first-team this season.
The 22-year-old - who has progressed through the club academy - has netted in three pre-season matches so far and he will NOT be going out on loan as he deserves a chance to make his mark on the Tynecastle top team. Back in February the hitman signed an extended contract in the capital until next summer and returned to Alloa Athletic on loan.
During his loan stint at the Wasps he netted a stunning 17 goals in 29 appearances and has followed up that fine form with an impressive return in pre-season. Hearts have huge season ahead of them as they juggle domestic and European football. The Jambos are guaranteed at minimum Europa Conference League group stage football with the Gorgie outfit entering the Europa League play-off round. Victory over that two-legged tie and they will enter the tournament proper of Europe's second tier competition, but defeat and they have the parachute and cash boost of the UECL.
