Tasos Avlonitis has become the second player to announce a summer exit from Hearts.

The Greek defender announced the move on his Twitter account following the end of the Premiership season.

Avlonitis has made 11 appearances for Ian Cathro's side following his January arrival but he won't be handed an extended deal in the capital.

Hearts are set for a busy summer with the 27-year-old following Faycal Rherras and Billy King out the exit door following the club's poor second half of the season.

Avlonitis wrote: "I want to thank Hearts and all the fans for these five months. It was a difficult period for me to come back after my serious injury and it was my pleasure to work with these team-mates and staff.

"I wish you all the best for the future."

The defender made his debut in the 4-1 victory over Rangers but fell out of contention following a mistake in a 2-0 loss to Aberdeen in March.
