Jorge Grant sat in a beach bar watching the Scottish Cup final and had no idea he’d be playing for one of the teams involved just over a month later.
The attacking midfielder signed a three-year deal with Hearts yesterday after jetting out to join up with the Jambos on their pre-season training camp in Spain after joining a list that already includes Alan Forrest, Lewis Neilson, Kye Rowles and Alex Cochrane. Grant is Robbie Neilson’s fifth summer signing after getting the big sell on a visit to Edinburgh last week.
That made up his mind, but Grant first got a sense of what he’ll be in for when he watched the extra-time defeat to Rangers at Hampden. He said: "I just knew it was a massive club with a massive fan base. The amount of messages I got yesterday morning, people speaking to me and welcoming me to the club. It's been very nice, the lads have made me feel welcome too.
