'Complete midfielder' Shore swaps Aberdeen for Hearts

Hearts have signed "complete midfielder" Eilidh Shore on a two-year contract after she left Aberdeen.

The 22-year-old reunites with striker Bayley Hutchison, who has also swapped the Dons for Hearts.

Shore made 145 appearances and scored 47 goals in her five-year spell with Aberdeen.

“We’re delighted Eilidh has made the decision to join us here at Hearts," manager Eva Olid told club media.

"I see her as an all-round complete midfielder and again, for our style of play, I think she will thrive in this team.

“Similar to Bayley, I’ve been able to watch her multiple times. In particular, her performance against us last season in Aberdeen was excellent."

Head of recruitment Sean Burt added: “Like Bayley, Eilidh has been a standout now for a few seasons and with that comes a lot of competition for her signature.

"So we’re delighted that she’s chosen Hearts and we feel this is another signing that highlights the positive trajectory of the club."
