Garang Kuol admits he was blown away by his Tynecastle welcome – and he’s determined to repay fans by becoming a smash hit at Hearts.
The Aussie youngster got a thunder reaction when lobbed on late in Friday’s 1-0 win against St Mirren as the third place Jambos stretched their lead on the pack. Kuol has had a whirlwind few months after making a huge impression at the World Cup with the Socceroos and winning a glamour move to Newcastle United. The 18-year-old was immediately sent north to spend the rest of the season gaining experience in Gorgie and he lapped up his first taste of life in Edinburgh.
Kuol said: “The atmosphere was nice and the fans were amazing. It was a good win for the boys. The support was unreal and I’d like to thank the fans for coming out. They gave the boys a push and it was a nice hard-fought win.
