Albion full-back Alex Cochrane has joined Hearts on loan.
The 21-year-old will link up with Scottish Premiership outfit, subject to international clearance.
He spent last season on loan at Tony Bloom’s Belgian club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.
Albion's pathway development manager David Weir, who oversees the club's loan programme, said: “Alex had a really positive spell in Belgium last season and showed how well he can adapt to a different culture and club.

“He will get to work closely with Robbie Neilson, who was a full-back himself during his playing career and will have plenty of knowledge he can pass on to Alex.
“Myself and the loans team will be keeping a close eye on how Alex gets on over the next year and we wish him the best of luck.”
