Hearts pay tribute to Under-20 and 14 footballers

Heart of Midlothian Youth Development Committee paid tribute to David Paul, 18, and Jamie Skinner, 13, who was a player for Hearts before joining Tynecastle.

Jamie was a talented and athletic young footballer who was a member of Hearts U14 squad for the first half of this season. Our thoughts are with Jamie’s family and friends at this sad time.
