Aidan Denholm Pushing for Regular Game Time at Hearts
Young midfielder Aidan Denholm is making a name for himself at Tynecastle Park, as he strives for regular game time with Hearts. After signing a new contract in the summer, Denholm has been steadily impressing both on and off the pitch. His recent performance as a substitute against Rosenborg in Trondheim showcased his potential and the value he brings to the team.
Having spent last season as a regular in the Hearts B side under the guidance of Steven Naismith, Denholm is relishing the exciting times at the club. He acknowledges the presence of numerous talented players and understands the importance of securing his place in the team.
Reflecting on his journey, Denholm stated, ‘It is a very exciting time to be involved at Hearts. There are so many great players here, I can’t name them all, but for me, it’s about trying to get myself in the team and become a regular. I want to enjoy it, but also make sure I stay in the team. There’s a real good feel-factor around the place just now and I’m just enjoying every minute of it.”
Denholm attributed his current position to the opportunity given to him in the summer and his strong performance during pre-season training in Marbella. He expressed his eagerness to learn and improve, recognizing that mistakes are part of his growth as a young player. Denholm also praised Naismith’s impact, appreciating his support and mentorship both on and off the field.
This weekend, Hearts will face Dundee in a cinch Premiership encounter.
