Euan Henderson has committed his immediate future to Hearts after putting pen t paper on a one-year contract extension.
And he's returned to Alloa Athletic on loan until the end of the campaign.
Henderson impressed in Clackmannanshire after heading there on loan for the first half of the season.
He scored 11 goals in 17 appearances for Barry Ferguson’s side before returning to Gorgie.
Robbie Neilson needed him for short-term cover while the Jambos tried to add a a striker to their squad during the window.
Henderson was an unused sub for games against St Johnstone, Celtic, Motherwell and Hibs respectively.
The plan was always to try and get the 21-year-old back out on loan, and the arrival of Ellis Simms on loan from Everton at Tynecastle has allowed Neilson to send henderson back to the Indodrill Stadium.
Speaking last month, Neilson said: “He's had a brilliant loan at Alloa, scored a lot of goals. It's the balance between bringing him in and utilising him a little bit with us or putting him back out and letting him play another 15 to 20 games. The plan is to keep him for another couple of weeks, hopefully by then we will have recruited and then Euan will go back out.
“He's signing a contract extension and he will come back in the summer and give himself a shot to get in the first team. We're in the process of renewing his contract. I don't think we are very far away. I expect that to be in the next week or two. He's done very, very well at Alloa.
“I still think there is development there but I can see the progression just by getting first-team football will be great for him.”
