Kingston not prepared to accept Hearts pay cut

Laryea Kingston claims he was forced to quit Hearts this summer as he was not prepared to accept a pay cut. The Tynecastle club could only offer the Ghana international reduced terms to extend his Edinburgh stay.

The 29-year-old was open to signing fresh terms, but was unwilling to reduce the conditions of his previous deal.

"I don't think I am going to Hearts again," he told the Daily Record.

"The team wants to bring their budget down so they asked me to bring my wages down.

"But I told them that is not possible so I have to leave.

"I have a couple of options so I am waiting for the best one."
