Goncalves on loan to Nuremberg

Hearts defender Jose Goncalves has agreed a season-long loan move to German club Nuremberg.

The 22-year-old Portuguese arrived at Tynecastle in January 2006 on a loan deal from Kaunas immediately after his switch from Swiss side FC Thun.

Goncalves, who cost the Lithuanian club £700,000, made 47 appearances during an injury-hit period at Tynecastle.

Nuremberg are aiming to bounce straight back into the Bundesliga following their relegation last season.
