Garuccio has played for the Qantas Young Socceroos and has been involved in the Australian Institute of Sport program for the past two years.
The starlet joins a host of off-season signings at Heart, including fellow Young Socceroos teammate, David Vrankovic, as well as Josip Tadic, Golgol Mebrahtu, Dylan Macallister, Steven Gray, Andrew Redmayne, Richard Garcia and Patrick Gerhardt.
Heart coach John Aloisi said: 'The dynamic left footer said: 'I first spoke to Ben about 12 months ago and we think he is the best 17-year-old going around.
'He’s a quick winger who is very good one-on-one.
'The fact that he is a left-footer is a great strength and he’s been doing really well with the under-20 national team in the tournaments that he has featured in recently.
'Even at 17, Ben is going to be a valuable member to our squad and feel he has a big future.'
