Hearts defender Arron Darge has sealed his Tynecastle exit after signing a two-year deal with Cove Rangers.
The 20-year-old enjoyed a successful loan spell with Kelty Hearts last season as the Fife outfit dodged relegation from League One, with Darge netting in consecutive outings against Edinburgh City and Peterhead.
Having come through the Jambos ranks to captain the B team in the Lowland League, the academy ace now gets set to take on the task of steering Cove back to Scotland's second tier. The new venture will see Darge go up against his previous club Kelty as both prepare to battle it out in League One, and he sees the move to the north-east as the next logical step in his young career.
