Brisbane Roar recruit Rocky Visconte has heaped praise on the club he was signed from, Scotland's Heart of Midlothian.

The 20-year old winger has penned a one-year deal with the Roar after spending about four years in Edinburgh but said he will always remember his time as a Hearts player.

"I have had a very enjoyable time here at Hearts and I would like to wish the club all the best," he told the club's official website.

"There are so many good people and I have made a lot of good friends in my time at Tynecastle.

"It will be a wrench to leave but I have been offered a year's deal at Brisbane Roar and have decided to go for it.

"The highlight of my time has to be my debut in Aberdeen. I have no regrets and will miss Hearts."
