Ben Watson signs new Watford deal

Midfielder Ben Watson has signed a fresh two-year deal with Watford.

The 29-year-old arrived at Vicarage Road from Wigan Athletic in January, when he agreed a contract until the end of the season.

However, having impressed manager Slavisa Jokanovic during his short stint with the Hornets, Watson has now committed himself to the club until 2017, with the option of a further 12 months.

To date, Watson has made eight starts and one appearance as a substitute for the Championship high-flyers.
