Watford youngster Andrew Eleftheriou pens new deal, leaves on loan

Watford defender Andrew Eleftheriou has penned a new contract at Vicarage Road.

On the final day of last season, Eleftheriou was handed his first-team debut as the 20-year-old came on as a 39th-minute substitute in a game against Manchester City.

Eleftheriou has not made another appearance for the Hornets, but the Hertfordshire-based outfit have shown their faith in the player by handing him a contract until 2019.

Watford have also revealed that the full-back will spend the next three months on loan at Sandefjord Fotball.

The Norwegian top-flight campaign began earlier this month, with Sandefjord suffering a 5-0 defeat to Molde on the opening day.
