Fulton signs contract extension

17 June 2025

Heart of Midlothian Football Club is delighted to confirm that Ryan Fulton has signed a one-year contract extension, subject to Scottish FA approval.

 

The new deal will see Ryan remain in Gorgie until the summer of 2027.

 

29-year-old Ryan arrived at Tynecastle last summer following a seven-year association with Hamilton Accies, providing competition for the number one spot to Craig Gordon and Zander Clark.

 

Although he had to be patient for his debut, Ryan played a key role when the moment came in May, registering a clean sheet and an assist as the men in maroon defeated Motherwell 3-0 at Tynecastle Park.

 

He made two further appearances in the final matches of the campaign, helping Hearts to two clean sheets and six points as the Jambos finished seventh following their post-split fixtures.

 

Head Coach Derek McInnes spoke to the Official Hearts Website about his delight at having three top class goalkeepers to work with.

 

He said; “It’s so important to have strong goalkeeping options to choose from and with Ryan committing his future to the club, we have that that strength and stability.

 

“I know from speaking to Paul Gallacher that Ryan is a top professional who gives his all in training and pushes his teammates to be better.

 

“Ryan had to be patient last season but I think everybody saw, when he was called into action, that he is a quality goalkeeper and we’re fortunate to have him.”
