Report: Hearts sign New York Red Bulls Academy prospect Wojciech Gajda

A report in the Edinburgh Evening News advises Scottish Premiership side Hearts has signed New York Red Bulls Academy prospect Wojciech Gajda.

Earlier this year, the 18-year-old 'keeper was reported to have committed to Stony Brook University, but clearly the opportunity to get started on a career as a professional player was too good to refuse. The Edinburgh Evening News reports Gajda has joined Hearts' U-20 squad on amateur terms, but is expected to sign a pro contract in the January transfer window.

Gajda has popped up on NYRB II rosters over the past couple of seasons, slotting in as a back-up 'keeper on occasions when the Red Bulls' reserves were short-handed.
