Uganda forward Rogers Mato has signed a pre-contract agreement to join Scottish Premiership leaders Heart of Midlothian this summer from North Macedonian top-flight leaders Vardar.
The 22-year-old has been in prolific form for Vardar this season, scoring 15 goals and contributing two assists in 17 appearances.
He has agreed a three-year contract with Hearts, which will commence in July after the expiry of his current contract.
First capped by his country in 2022, Mato has scored eight international goals in 41 matches, including a consolation goal in an Africa Cup of Nations defeat by Nigeria last month.
After starting his career in Uganda with Proline and KCCA, he signed for Turkish outfit Sanliurfaspor in 2023.
Mato moved to North Macedonia with AP Brera before making the switch to Vardar last year.
Vardar currently lead second-top Struga by one point after 16 games.
