New Hearts boss Jim Jefferies says everyone has been given a fresh start including out-of-favour midfielder Laryea Kingston.
The Ghana international had been frozen out at Tynecastle under previous manager Csaba Laszlo, but has been told he has a future at the club now that Jefferies has taken the reins.
The 29-year-old is set to return to training on Monday, after his latest injury problem, but has been told that he must want to play for the club as well.
"We have had a long chat - I think it has to be fresh start for everybody," Jefferies told the club website.
"Things have been said and done to him but we have to get him back on track as when he first came to Hearts everyone agreed he was a real capture.
"The aim is to get him back with his head right and get him back competing and giving full value," said Jefferies, whose side next play on Wednesday against Celtic in Glasgow.
"It has to be a two-way thing, though - it's not just me who wants that, he has to want it, too. If you are going to work together, you work together as a partnership."
