Alex Cochrane joined Hearts permanently after a successful loan spell.

Alex Cochrane has completed a season-long loan move to Belgian side Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, subject to international clearance.

The England under-20 defender will join the Belgian B League side, who currently sit second in the table.

Technical director Dan Ashworth commented, “This is a great opportunity for Alex to go and play with Union in Belgium.

“He has made really good progress over recent seasons with our under-23s, and now he can go and get some experience of senior football.

Alex Cochrane is moving to Hearts on loan.

“Our loans team led by David Weir will monitor Alex’s progress and watch his games; we wish him well for the season ahead.”

Brighton-born Cochrane has graduated through Albion’s academy youth teams, and has been captain of the under-23s.

The 20-year-old has made two first team appearances, one last and one this season, both in the Carabao Cup.

He has also represented England at under-16 level and returned to the international fold last year for the under-20s.
