Heart of Midlothian midfielder Calem Nieuwenhof has completed a loan move to Perth Glory.
Hearts confirmed the news in the early hours of this morning with the Australian midfielder sent to spend next season on loan back in his homeland.
Nieuwenhof has been plagued by injury and didn't make a single Premiership apperance after breaking down following four appearances in the Premier Sports cup group stage.
The season before saw him play just 14 times in all competitions. That came after he showed plenty of promise in his debut campaign following a move from Western Sydney Wanderers.

"He'll spend the 2026/27 campaign at the A-League side.
"Wishing you all the best down under, Calem."
The 25-year-old told the Perth Glory website: “I’m super excited to be joining Perth Glory. I’m looking forward to getting back playing consistently and giving everything to help bring success to the club," he said.
“It is a club with huge potential and I’m hoping we can challenge for the title this season.
“Having worked with [Head Coach] Adam Griffiths and [Assistant Coach] Tomi Vidovic before, I know the high standards they set which is a big reason I am so keen to join the club.”
The loan deal takes the central midfielder up to the end of his contract next summer.
