Watford academy graduate George Byers has found himself a new club following his release from Vicarage Road, signing a two-year deal with Swansea City.
Byers spent 13 years in Watford's academy until he was let go by the Hornets this summer, and represented Scotland at youth level up to Under-18s.
He made his sole appearance for Watford against Charlton Athletic in the Championship back in January 2015.
The 20-year-old will go into the Swans' development squad for the new season.
He told the club's website: "It is a great opportunity for me, one which I am relishing. I can't wait to get started.
"I have come to a point in my career where I needed a change. I was at Watford for 13 years, now I am looking for that next step."
