Austrian defender Michael Steinwender has officially signed with Scottish club Hearts on a contract lasting until the summer of 2028. At 24 years old, he brings valuable experience from previous stints in Austria and Sweden, nearing 200 senior appearances. Steinwender's addition is part of a busy transfer window for Hearts, who have also secured forward Elton Kabangu and defender Jamie McCart. Head coach Neil Critchley expressed significant enthusiasm about Steinwender's potential to thrive in the Scottish Premiership and Europe, highlighting the effort behind securing his transfer.
We're really delighted to get this deal for Michael completed as it's taken a lot of hard work from everyone at the club these past few months to bring him to Hearts.
He is someone we have identified that we believe has all the attributes to be a success in the Scottish Premiership and in Europe.
He already has several seasons of experience in Austria and Sweden and at the age of 24 he has the potential to develop further in his career.
