Stuart Findlay will convert his loan from Oxford into a permanent two-year deal with Hearts in the summer. Findlay, who previously played for manager Derek McInnes at Kilmarnock, has started all 20 of the club's league games and has formed a partnership with Craig Halkett. McInnes stated that Findlay has been of a very high standard and is one of the most important players in the dressing room, adding that it is important to have proven players with Scottish Premiership experience.
