Robbie Neilson says Kye Rowles wants to STAY at Hearts and he expects him to remain for a 'good period longer'.
The capital club brought the defender to Tynecastle over the summer and he made a solid start before suffering an injury that ruled him out for an extended period. He made his return pre-World Cup and went on to star for Australia in the finals at Qatar with the Socceroos losing out at the knockout stages against Lionel Messi and Argentina.
The stopper signed a three-year deal on his arrival to Edinburgh and due to injury has only played ten times for his new club since joining. Neilson says the defender knows he still has a lot to do before he can move up to the next level. He believes the 24-year-old wants to continue playing for Hearts and develop his game even further.
