Robbie Neilson insists Kye Rowles wants to stay at Hearts - and will be an even better player for his World Cup experience. Interest is expected in the Australia defender after his performances helped the Socceroos reach the last 16 in Qatar.
Jambos chief executive Andrew McKinlay said this week it would take a “mind-boggling” offer for the club to even consider selling the summer recruit. But Neilson is comfortable that the player, who signed a three-year deal in June, wants to take his career to the next level at Tynecastle. Rowles has played only 10 times for Hearts.
And Neilson said: “He has done very well and the window is not open yet. Having spoken to Kye, he wants to stay here. He wants to play for the club and he wants to develop further. He has had a quick turnaround since coming in during the summer and then getting to the World Cup and doing so well.
