Watford have bolstered their goalkeeping options by signing Jonathan Bond on a professional contract.

The Hemel Hempstead-born stopper, who has been with the Hornets since the age of ten, put pen to paper on a three-year deal today, even though he is now embarking on the second year of his Academy scholarship.

A welsh youth international, the 17-year-old was part of the Under-18 team that reached the quarter-finals of the Youth Cup last season and was also an un-used substitute for five Championship games in October and November.
