James Hill has opened up on being recognised by Hearts supporters as he admitted: 'We know much much it means to the fans'
Robbie Neilson swooped to bring the Bournemouth defender to Tynecastle on loan for the rest of the season as he looked to fill the void left following Craig Halkett's latest injury issue that has ruled him out until the summer. The young defender - who dreams of playing for England at the next World Cup - has quickly adapted to life in Scotland's top tier and has established himself in the team.
Playing week in, week out at a big club means becoming well known with the 21-year-old admitting to being recognised by fans in public including Sainsburys. The Jambos are in the hunt for third spot as they bid to secure another European adventure. They lost 2-0 last time out at Motherwell in a performance slated by boss Neilson. It means rivals Hibs are only five points behind in the Premiership table. Hill knows how much it means to the fans to get results branding the club 'their life' and he says all the players are pulling in the right direction to always give 100 per cent.
