Watford fans will be breathing a sigh of relief this morning after captain John Eustace signed a new two-year contract with the club.

Former club Derby County had been keen to sign the experienced midfielder, which had led to concern among the supporters.

But it has this morning been confirmed that Eustace has agreed a two-year contract extension at Vicarage Road.

The 31-year-old had a year left on his current agreement but the club were desperate to snap up their skipper for an extra year.
