Former Hamilton Accies coach Frankie McAvoy has been appointed the new academy director at Heart of Midlothian.
The 54-year-old, who is responsible for helping bring through the likes of James McCarthy and James McArthur at Accies, arrives at Tynecastle having had a spell in charge of English Championship side Preston North End last year.
McAvoy replaced fellow ex-Accies man Alex Neil as interim boss at The Lilywhites before being named permanent manager in May last year. However, he was sacked in December 2021 after a poor run of results for the Deepdale sale.
