B team

MacDonald signs new deal

26 May 2025

The club is delighted to announce that Jamie MacDonald has penned a new one-year deal with the Hearts B Team.

 

The Hall of Fame inductee and 2012 Scottish Cup winner returned to the Jambos last summer and featured 16 times for the Wee Jambos in the Lowland League.

 

MacDonald missed much of the season due to injury but was still a presence on the training ground, passing on his experience to the likes of Jack Lyon and Lyndos Tas, alongside goalkeeping coach Ross Ballantyne.

 

Now the 39-year-old Hearts Academy graduate has put pen to paper on a new one-year deal at the club as he continues to pass on his experience to the next generation of Hearts stoppers.

 

Speaking to the Official Hearts Website, B Team head coach, Angus Beith said:

 

“I’m delighted that Jamie has decided to stay for another season with the B Team. His role next season will be very similar to how it has looked across the last 6 months, providing cover in the goalkeeping position with the B Team, but the value that Jamie offers us goes well beyond the pitch, providing valuable guidance and leadership qualities that all of our young players are benefitting from. Having a top person like Jamie in the building, makes our environment better.”
