Steven Naismith says Jaden Ferguson is motivated for Hearts success after his first crack at full-time football at Celtic didn't go to plan.
The promising forward has penned a one-year deal with Hearts and goes into their new Lowland League 'B' team ahead of the fifth tier campaign. Naismith will lead the Jambos youngsters and reckons Ferguson will be a good addition. He dropped down the leagues to Lochee United after time at Celtic was hampered by injury but that will only add fuel to his fire. Naismith said: "Jaden’s got real instincts as a forward. He has a sharpness in the box, along with being a really good finisher.
"He’s very powerful and got a lot qualities suited to leading the line. That’s why he’s earned this contract. It didn’t play out at Celtic the way Jaden hoped, but I think he’s learned a lot. He’s shown a great attitude along with a willingness to get better and improve."
