Hearts head coach Ian Cathro has made Tranmere Rovers striker Cole Stockton his second signing of the summer.
The 23-year-old ex-Morecambe forward has agreed a two-year deal and joins Christophe Berra - who joined from Ipswich Town - at Tynecastle.
Stockton told the Hearts website: “I’m a big, strong striker but not like a target man. I’m very good at holding the ball up, I can bring players into play around the box and I’m a goalscorer."
