The Scotland attacker, 31, joined Craig Levein's side on loan in January, scoring four goals in 16 games.

Naismith, who has 45 caps, has a year left on his Norwich contract and will be with the Tynecastle side for the 2018-19 season.

"He's a very, very useful addition and he did well for us last season," Levein told the Hearts website.

"It's not just the fact that he's a really good player, he's got a great work ethic and he's got great talent as well."
