He's already now the club's record European appearance holder and he could also make it 100 clean sheets in Maroon in Gorgie
And as Craig Gordon limbers up for his 300th Hearts appearance, Kye Rowles has vowed to help the veteran goalkeeper grab the daddy of all clean sheets - fittingly his 100th in maroon should it arrive. The landmarks just keep arriving for the born and bred Jambo who earlier this season became the club’s record European appearance holder.
“I think he embodies that role immensely and does such a good job as a leader. It's just great to have him there. He leads by example. If you get yelled at by him, you know you've done something pretty wrong. Rowles would have been just four-years-old and on the other side of the world when Gordon made his Hearts bow in October 2002. But he was just yards away from his captain at Tannadice on Christmas Eve in 2022 when the Scotland keeper suffered a double leg break that most onlookers were certain would signal a brutal end to his career.
“It's pretty amazing. Without diving into the injury too much. Not many people who are younger and newer to the game and don't have all those games under your belt already could do that. He had accomplished so much already that it could have been easier to just say, look that's me. But his fight, his drive, his passion to come back is just inspirational.
But their remarkable top flight debut which saw them finish sixth last season and grab a Conference League spot is all the warning Rowles needs ahead of what promises to be an electric night at Tynecastle. Both sides will put their 100 per cent records on the line.
