First games after been asked in few weeks ago smashing it wee man proud of you ❤️⚽️

A huge well done to our wee superstar Jordan, who played his first matches with Hearts last night! ❤️⚽️

We hear he scored a couple of cracking goals and even took a stint in goals too! 🧤🥅💪🏼

But what impressed us most was that, as soon as he finished, he rushed through to Murieston to join his friends for the second session of Fun Fours! 🙌🏼 Now that’s commitment to your team, wee man! 💪🏼⚽️

What a brilliant experience for him, and we couldn’t be prouder! ❤️ Keep working hard, keep enjoying your football and, most importantly, keep smiling! ⚽️🙌🏼

Well done, Jordan! ❤️👏🏼

It’s been a busy start to the year… when the weather has actually played ball 🤣☔️☃️

I’ve loved meeting some new boys and getting stuck into sessions with them, while also ticking off some Day 1s in for more training 👏🏼⚽️

From 6-year-olds right through to 13/14-year-olds, it’s been a proper mix of ages and sessions with and every single one of them absolutely smashing their training and preseason so far 👏🏼⚽️

Massive well done to you all… the hard work doesn’t go unnoticed 💪🏼🔥 Shout outs below…
