The club expect the Aussie midfielder to be back in training next month.
And the Jambos could be on the verge of recruiting midfielder Malachi Boateng from Crystal Palace. The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at Dundee.
Jamie McDonald has returned to Hearts on a one-year deal, 12 years after winning a Scottish Cup medal with the Jambos. The 38-year-old goalkeeper will help develop players in the club’s B team.
Finally, Toby Sibbick has moved to Wigan Athletic for an undisclosed fee, the 25-year-old having signed a two-year contract with the English League one club.
