Hearts have announced that full-back Faycal Rherras has left the club by mutual consent. The Moroccan internationalist joined the Gorgie club last summer and was a regular under previous Head Coach Robbie Neilson, making 23 appearances. However, Rherras has not made the same impact under present Head Coach Ian Cathro and last played for the Maroons in a 2-0 defeat from Partick Thistle in February.
Meanwhile, Ian Cathro has refused to comment on speculation linking former Hearts defender Christophe Berra with a return to Tynecastle. Berra has left English Championship side Ipswich Town after he expressed a desire to return to Scotland for family reasons. Rangers have also been linked with the 32-year-old.
