Stephen Humphrys is desperate to make his Hearts switch a permanent one and strut his stuff on the continent again next season. But he revealed he’s had no contact from parent club Wigan Athletic.
The Latics are on their third manager of the season after Shaun Maloney replaced the sacked Kolo Toure, whose reign ended after just two months in charge. They had the option of recalling Humphrys in January, but the deadline for doing so passed, with the player happy to remain in Gorgie until the summer anyway. He hopes he’ll be back again next season, but will still have a year left on his deal in Lancashire so some negotiation will be required between all three parties.
Robbie Neilson 's men are on course for a second successive third place finish in the Premiership and European qualification that comes with it. Humphrys netted for Hearts away to Fiorentina last year and wants more of the same if they are indeed looking out the passports again in a few months’ time.
