Nieuwenhof leaves for Perth in search of games and glory
Hearts midfielder Calem Nieuwenhof has returned to his native Australia in search of regular first-team football, with Perth Glory's football director describing the season-long loan as "a coup" for the A-League club. The 25-year-old joined Hearts in 2023 from Western Sydney Wanderers and made 29 appearances in his first season with the Scottish Premiership club. "Having worked with [head coach] Adam Griffiths and [assistant coach] Tomi Vidovic before, I know the high standards they set, which is a big reason I am so keen to join the club."
