Laryea Kingston says he would be happy to discuss a new contract at Hearts and is enjoying playing under manager Jim Jefferies. Ghana midfielder Kingston is out of contract in the summer and is likely to have to accept a pay cut in order to stay at Tynecastle. The 29-year-old, who joined Hearts in 2007, is willing to listen to what Hearts have to offer as he waits to discover if he is part of Jefferies' long-term plans. He told the Edinburgh Evening News: "I'm happy JJ came in and everything changed. He has confidence in me and I'm enjoying my football again. "Honestly, I'm very happy here. I've already told the management that I'm waiting for them to put something on the table. "If they start talking to me and put something on the table, I'm happy. "They have not talked to me yet so I don't have any idea about what to do if they cut the wages or if they will offer higher wages. We haven't talked about it yet."

Never feigned injuries

Former manager Csaba Laszlo repeatedly questioned Kingston's commitment to Hearts, with the player persistently injured and quoted as saying he would always put his country before his club. Kingston added: "I promise you, every injury I have had at this club, I have evidence of. "I have the scans, my medical records and everything is there. It's true. "I have never feigned injuries, even since I was young. I love football and I wanted to play every minute."
