Marián Kello

He began his career at Slovak side 1. FC Košice in 2001, where he spent a year of his career before moving to Czech side, FC Vítkovice at the age of 19. After a four-year spell with Vítkovice, he moved to Lithuanian champions FBK Kaunas. He became first choice goalkeeper for Kaunas with his impressive displays against Scottish side, Rangers and Danish champions AaB Aalborg which helped earn him a move to Hearts.

He maintained his place in the team until the Edinburgh Derby on 19 October 2008 when he suffered a head injury in a clash with Hibs striker Colin Nish and had to be replaced by János Balogh at half-time. He subsequently lost his place in the team to the Hungarian and made only two further appearances before the split. He returned to the team for Hearts' final six games of the season and conceded only three goals as the Jambos secured third place in the league and a place in the inaugural UEFA Europa League. Kello saved a Danny Cadamarteri penalty in a 0–0 draw with Dundee United on 12 December 2009. On 2 August 2010, Hearts announced he had signed a two-year deal with the club, after his contract at FBK Kaunas expired.
