Watford defender Jose Holebas pens new Vicarage Road contract

Watford have announced that defender Jose Holebas has signed a new contract at the club to keep him in place until the summer of 2020.

The 33-year-old has featured 63 times for the Hornets since arriving from Serie A side Roma ahead of the 2015-16 campaign.

Fiery full-back Holebas, capped 38 times at international level by Greece, is now under contract at Vicarage Road for another two-and-a-half years.

Watford appear to be in the market for a new defensive player during the January transfer window, meanwhile, as Swansea City ace Alfie Mawson has emerged as a rumoured target.

Marco Silva's men find themselves 10th in the Premier League after 22 games, with Holebas starting 13 of those and coming off the bench twice.
