Goalkeeper Mark Ridgers has joined Irn Bru Second Division side East Fife on a month-long loan deal.

The teenager has opted on the move to Methil to gain some first-team experience experience and could make his debut in tomorrow's league clash against Peterhead at Bayview Stadium.

"This is a great opportunity to gain some good experience," Mark told Hearts News.

"I am delighted to have been given the chance and hopefully I can do well while I'm there.

"I plan to learn as much as I can from my time at East Fife, bring that back to Hearts after the loan finishes and kick on from there."
