Craig Thomson has left Hearts for a second loan spell in Lithuania, joining FK Suduva on loan.

The defender has been frozen out at Tynecastle since being placed on the Sex Offenders Register, having pled guilty to two charges of lewd and libidinous and indecent behaviour towards two girls aged 12 and 14 last year.

Thomson was loaned to another Lithuanian club, FBK Kaunas, earlier in the season. He returned at the end of the 2011 A Lyga season in November.

The 20-year-old didn't feature in Suduva's opening game of the 2012 campaign on Sunday, which they won 3-1 against FK Ekranas.
