Watford have confirmed striker Mathias Ranegie has joined Chinese side Dalian Aerbin on loan until the end of 2015.

We reported on January 28 that the Swedish international was to link up with the China League One club and the Hornets announced the deal has been completed this morning.

The 30-year-old spent the opening months of the current campaign on loan at Millwall but returned in early November after an unsuccessful spell with the Lions.

After his return, the former Udinese striker was one of four senior players training separately from the first-team, with Lloyd Dyer, Lewis McGugan and Diego Fabbrini the other three.

Dalian Aerbin were relegated from Chinese football's top flight last season but are managed by Swede Mikael Stahre and he has fellow countryman Michael Kallstrom as his assistant.

The Chinese season begins in March and runs until November.
