Josh Ginnelly has opened up on his Hearts future as he insisted: 'I love it here'.
The speedy attacker is out of contract in the summer and is so far yet to come to an agreement on fresh terms at Tynecastle. He's been at the club over two-and-a-half years now and admits he's enjoyed every second of his time in the capital.
Last season he was left a bit frustrated with a more bit-part role from the bench for Robbie Neilsons' side but fast forward to the current campaign and he's established himself as a key player for the Jambos. He's scored three goals and contributed three assists to date and experienced playing in European football after Hearts' Europa Conference League adventure.

His deal has less than six months to run and while there has been little things - he says that is for his agent to focus on with his mind set on winning three points each week. He's hailed the Gorgie club as one going in the right direction and admitted 'who wouldn't want to be a part of that' when discussing his Hearts future.
He told Edinburgh Evening News : "I love it here, I love the group and I enjoy coming into training. If it comes, it comes. There have been little things but I don’t really focus on that stuff.
"That’s why I’ve got an agent because I’d rather focus on getting three points every week than a contract.”
“Hearts is a great club. I’ve been here two and a half years now and I’ve enjoyed every second.
“Last season was frustrating but it’s still a great club that is heading in the right direction. I don’t know who wouldn’t want to be a part of that."
On first taste of the Edinburgh derby as a starter, he added: “That’s the first derby I’ve started. A lot of times when we’ve played Hibs I’ve either been injured or didn’t play.
I wanted to get my first real stamp on the derby. We worked hard and probably could have played better but we got a 3-0 win. We did celebrate but not too hard because we have a game on Saturday.
"Last season, for me, I didn’t feel myself. This year I’m in the team more and I always back myself. In any game I start, I will be involved in something and that has probably been proven now. I just want to keep this form going.”
