Hearts have signed former Dundee and Dunfermline Athletic defender Malachi Fagan-Walcott from York City for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old, who has agreed a four-year contract, was at the time Tottenham Hotspur's youngest-ever player when he made his debut in the Champions League round of 16 defeat by RB Leipzig in 2020.
But last season he helped York win the National League title, scoring eight goals and providing four assists in 37 appearances.
Overall, Fagan-Walcott has scored 14 times in 79 games for the club he joined nearly two years ago from Cardiff City.
The London-born defender first arrived in Scotland on loan to Dundee from Spurs in 2021, but his time at Dens Park was cut short by injury after just two games.
He joined Cardiff on his release by Spurs but only made one start and two substitute appearances and was sold to York after a successful six-month loan spell.
Before then, Fagan-Walcott had also had a loan spell with Dunfermline, making 15 appearances and scoring three goals in the latter half of 2023-24 season for the Championship club.
He becomes Hearts' fifth signing of the summer and comes the day after head coach Derek McInnes left to join Rangers.
