'Highly-rated' Hearts youngster joins Dumbarton on loan
One of Hearts’ promising youngsters has moved to Dumbarton on loan.
Ryan Schiavone has joined the League One side until January 16 next year following the completion of paperwork.
The 18-year-old striker signed a two-year contract extension with Hearts earlier this year after earning his first pro contract back in 2019.
He was involved in the Jam Tarts' programme of friendlies in the build-up to this season and was a regular in John Rankin’s Under 18 side last season.
The Scotland Under 16 international will now continue his development with Stevie Farrell’s side.
