Heart of Midlothian have signed defender Jamie McCart from Rotherham United for an undisclosed fee on a deal until 2029.
McCart, 27, won the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup with St Johnstone in the 2020-21 season, and was also part of the Leyton Orient side that won League Two in 2022-23.
The Scotland under-21 cap began his career at Celtic, and had spells at Inverness Caledonian Thistle, St Mirren and Alloa Athletic before joining Perth Saints in 2020.
McCart then signed for Rotherham in 2022, before loan spells at Leyton Orient and Barnsley.
He has made 20 appearances for the Millers this season, and arrives at Tynecastle amid a defensive injury crisis.
Frankie Kent, Stephen Kingsley and Gerald Taylor are all currently unavailable, while Australian center Kye Rowles has been linked with a move away from the club.
“It’s probably no secret that due to the injuries sustained at the heart of our defense we are looking to strengthen in this position,” said Hearts head coach Neil Critchley. “We are delighted that we signed Jamie so early in the window.
“He is someone I know from his time at Rotherham and Barnsley and added to his experience in the SPFL we feel we have recruited Jamie at a good stage in his career.
“Jamie already knows a lot about Hearts and has shown a real appetite to come and join us. We are confident that his presence and leadership will help to improve us in the short and long term.”
