Hearts has completed the signing of former Celtic, West Brom and Swansea striker Craig Beattie.

The 28 year old has penned a short-term deal until the end of the season.

Craig was available on a free transfer after he left Welsh club Swansea City in January.

The forward began his career as a youth player at Rangers, but later moved across the city to rivals Celtic.

The Scotland international scored 13 goals in 50 appearances for the Hoops before moving to West Brom in 2007, playing 31 times for the Baggies.

Loan spells at Preston, Crystal Palace and Sheffield United followed before a permanent switch to Swansea in 2009.

Craig appeared 45 times for the Swans, scoring seven goals.
