Beslija played just 14 times for Hearts

Hearts have agreed to prematurely terminate the contract of record signing Mirsad Beslija.

The Bosnian international winger moved to Tynecastle from Belgium club Genk in January 2006, for a �850,000 fee.

The transfer was clouded when Genk had to involve Fifa after the Edinburgh club delayed payment, taking nearly a year to complete the agreed deal.

However, a series of injuries and loss of form restricted Beslija to just 14 appearances for the club.

The 29-year-old was loaned out to Belgian side Sint-Truiden for a season in August 2007 but was again beset by injury problems.

On his return to Tynecastle, where his deal was due to run until June 2009, Beslija's hopes of kick-starting his career were shattered by knee ligament damage.
