SNS GroupHearts have sealed the signing of Valerenga captain Christian Borchgrevink, with the defender set to move to Tynecastle this summer.
Borchgrevink has signed a three-year deal that will begin in June, and Hearts paid an undisclosed fee for the player.
The Premiership club describes Borchgrevink as “an intelligent, versatile player with a famed delivery in his locker.” In 125 appearances for the Norwegian club, he has nine goals and 27 assists.
Hearts head coach Neil Critchley believes the club have signed a player of real quality.
“I’m really happy that we’re going to be adding a player of Christian’s calibre to our squad next season,” he said.
“He has all the attributes I associate with being a Hearts player; he’s strong, athletic, talented and a leader on the pitch.
“He’s got a good pedigree, having played at a high level in Norway, and while he will bring his qualities to the team, we feel that we can provide an environment where he can get even better.
“Christian will, I’m sure, continue to give his all for Valerenga, where he is very highly regarded, and come the summer, I’m looking forward to welcoming him to Hearts.”
