Heart of Midlothian have signed Birmingham City midfielder Marc Leonard on loan until the end of the season. The Scotland Under-21 cap has featured 17 times this season for the Championship club, with 10 of those as a substitute. The 24-year-old was a youth at Tynecastle before leaving to join Brighton & Hove Albion in 2019 and could make his Hearts debut against Celtic on Sunday. "Marc knows the club, he knows Scottish football, what it means and what's at stake and that is a really big positive for me," he told the club website. "He's clearly a very good player and he was keen to come here and be part of something that could be very special."
