Highly rated goalkeeper Harry Stone has tonight joined us on loan from Hearts. The 21-year makes the move from Tynecastle until January.

The shot stopper who has been capped for Scotland at U16, 17 and U21 levels recently signed a new contract with the Edinburgh side until next summer. He has had previous loan spells at Albion Rovers and Partick Thistle but has recently been a regular for Hearts B in the Lowland League.

Manager, Marvin Bartley said “With Gordon suspended and Murray being recalled by Hibs we needed to bring in a keeper. Harry has been tipped for a big future in the game, so we are pleased to have got a deal sorted and thank Hearts for making it happen.”

Harry himself added “it’s been a bit of a quick turnaround, but I’m delighted to be joining Queens and I’m looking forward to the opportunities. It’s another step up for me and a chance to continue my career development.”
