Hearts have appointed former Scotland Women’s Head Coach Shelley Kerr to the role of Technical Development Manager.
The position will include supporting the development of players and coaches in the male academy at Oriam.
She will also assist B Team Head Coach Angus Beith in his newly appointed role.
Shelley Kerr led the national team to the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2o19 during her three years in charge.
She also made history when she became the first female coach in the men’s senior game when she took charge of Lowland League side Stirling University.
Hearts Sporting Director Graeme Jones said: “Shelley’s extensive experience and skill set is ideally suited to this new role at the club and I look forward to working with her to harness the development pathway leading to the first team.”
