Falkirk boss Paul Hartley says Ruben Sammut has "massive potential" as the Scotland Under-21 midfielder arrived on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

Sammut captained Chelsea's Under-23 side last term and has agreed a new contract extension until summer 2019.

"Ruben has been brought through and trained at an elite level having been with Chelsea from such a young age," Hartley said.

"He has massive potential and I think the opportunity for him now to experience first-team football will be of huge benefit to all parties."
