Jose Manuel Jurado has thanked the Watford fans and urged the club to “keep growing” after completing his move back to Spain.

The midfielder’s year at Vicarage Road has ended after he linked up again with former Hornets boss Quique Sanchez Flores at Espanyol on a three-year deal for a fee reported to be €2.5 million.

The 30-year-old hailed Watford as a “great club” in this tweet he posted this afternoon.


Having moved from Spartak Moscow last summer, Jurado made 30 Premier League appearances in his season with the Hornets.
