RYAN Edwards has his sights set on trophies and European football after agreeing a two-year deal with Hearts.

The Australian midfielder completed his move to the Tynecastle outfit from Partick Thistle on Wednesday morning after three years at Firhill.

Edwards pointed to the vociferous Gorgie support as a major selling point as he became the Jambos' eighth  signing of the summer.

"The fans here are incredible," he told Hearts TV

"Being in the stand as a fan watching and obviously being in the opposition is really intimidating.

“As the opposition you want to try and upset the crowd and you know that the fans here set such high standards for everyone at the club, and I want to be part of that and try and match the ambitions of the fans and the club.

“One massive reason I came to the club is the ambition of everyone here and I want to play my part for the team and the fans to try and be successful.

“I’ve sat down one-on-one with the manager and had a good chat about what he expects of me and the team going forward.

“The ambition is there on a personal level to be in a team that’s going to challenge for cups, challenge at the top end of the table, try and get into Europe next season and that’s something that I really want to help achieve.”

Edwards scored five goals for the Jags last season but couldn't help them avoid relegation through the play-offs.
