Goalkeeper Beau Reus says he chose to join Hearts in the hope he and Wouter Vrancken can replicate their respective success stories last season in Belgium.
While Vrancken led Sint-Truiden to a third-place finish in the Pro League, and a second manager of the year award, 24-year-old Reus won the second-tier ******* le and promotion with Beveren.
"I didn't know the manager personally, but I know him of course from the great story he wrote in Belgium with Sint-Truiden," the Dutchman said.
"It was an unbelievable story. I only spoke with him one time because we had a friendly game against Sint-Truiden, but he's one of the biggest coaches in Belgium for sure.
"I think last year he made it clear why. He's a really big name in Belgium. I think, if you choose a club, especially if you're a free agent, you look at so many factors in the club, but of course the head coach is one of the biggest points in this. A lot of factors are in his favour."
