New Watford signing Mark Yeates has flown out to France to join up with the squad and is taking part in his first training session this morning.

A 24-man Hornets squad went to Capberton, which is 20 miles north of Biarritz, on Sunday for a six-day training camp and although they are expected back on Saturday, manager Sean Dyche was keen for the new arrival to join the squad.

Yeates joined Watford from Sheffield United yesterday afternoon on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
