C:WindowsTempphpE136.tmpHearts can now boast a new internationalist in their ranks after Perry Kitchen picked his first USA cap while a Tynecastle player in Sunday’s win over Puerto Rico. The US secured a 3-1 friendly win, with midfielder Perry playing the first half. Perry has been included in the US' Copa America squad for this summer’s tournament and is looking forward to playing his part in the historic competition, the first to be held outside of South America.

Perry said: "I was delighted to be handed a start and that we won the game. It’s a real honour to be called into the squad for what will be a historic Copa America tournament. I'm really looking forward to being a part of it. Hopefully we do well and then I’ll come back to Hearts and help with the European campaign."
