Falkirk land Hearts defender McGhee

That switch is now complete with McGhee signing on a one-year contract with a further year’s option.

The Scotland under-19 and under-21 captain has made over 50 appearances at Tynecastle plus spent time on loan at Middlesbrough last term.

boss Peter Houston said: “Jordan is a player of real quality and one with massive potential still to fulfill in the game.

“He comes recommended and at 21 will be a real asset to the club.

“I said all along I wanted two players to strengthen and both Jordan and Conrad Balatoni were my key targets.”

McGhee said: “This is a big club and belongs in the top flight, I hope to be able to get it there.”
