The club announced an 18-month deal this morning, taking him to the end of the 2021/22 season, much to the delight of supporters.

Kingsley has been one of the club’s best players this season, making 15 appearances and scoring four goals.

@heartsstats: “Similar to Smith, a year less than I'd hoped but good to get him signed up beyond this season.”

@lewismckenzie_: “Irving next please, Mr Savage”

@deansmith21031: “Things you love to see. Great bit of business”

@GraemeMcV: “Great news, been excellent in the main for us.”

@Jamie_Jambo: “Brilliant. Now do Andy Irving.”

@A_McLean99: “Not going to lie, I was almost certain we would only get a year of Kingsley. Absolutely delighted to be wrong! Brilliant business by the club.”

@HeartsViewsonly: “Good to see us given contracts out and keeping the squad together. Now to get Gino tied up too.”

@jamie_mac51: “As good as a new signing this, fantastic business from Hearts.”

@McIverTheMark: “It's been said 100 times but the best left back we've had since Takis. Our POTY so far. This is bigger than a new signing in my opinion- absolutely massive. Fantastic news.”

@TalkinTynie: “The Hearts really are back. Irving next please @JamTarts.”

@graha1874: “A great bit of business by Hearts to get Kingsley tied up until the end of next season. He’s shown enough already to prove he’s a Premiership quality player & him and GMS could terrorise plenty of opposition right wings in that league.”

@robbiemck134: “Making logical signings and tying down our best players with contracts, it just doesn’t add up.”
