Hearts and Australia midfielder Kye Rowles has opened up about the culture shift for Garang Kuol in Scotland. Like the Newcastle United youngster, he also made the switch to colder pastures last year.
Rowles and Kuol were team-mates at Central Coast Mariners before linking up on the international and Scottish Premiership stage. Swapping the scorching hot beaches and clear skies of New South Wales for an arctic Edinburgh climate must have proven difficult for the pair but, for their troubles, they are experiencing a more thorough footballing education.
Newcastle reportedly pipped Barcelona for Kuol’s signature in January but, so far, he has failed to perform on loan at Hearts. The 18-year-old is yet to start a game - or score a goal - for the Jambos in seven appearances.
