05 July 2025Heart of Midlothian can confirm we have reached an agreement with AEK Athens for the transfer of James Penrice.
The 26-year-old will join the Greek Super League side for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance and Scottish FA approval.
James joined the Jambos on a free in June 2024 and would go on to make 46 appearances in maroon, scoring twice.
