Watford's rising star Sean Murray agrees new five-year contract

Highly-rated Watford midfielder Sean Murray has agreed a new five-year contract with the club.
Murray only signed a contract extension until 2015 five months ago but the 18-year-old has now agreed a new deal until 2017.
The Pozzo family, who took over Watford in the summer, have a track record of tying their players down to long contracts.
Murray, who was wanted by Manchester City before signing his first professional contract, scored seven goals in 19 appearances last season and was named the club's Young Player of the Year.

Great news. And take note Gavin Massey: There is a future for the youngsters under the new regime, so long as you're good enough!

Fantastic news, long Pozzo contracts mean they have great belief in a player. Sean will now be treated as an asset and not just a squad player. Don't be disappointed if he spends time on loan in Italy or Spain, it will all be part of his development.

It is all muscle - he is filling out!

This isnt a critism by the way, just the way it is. The only difference between the Pozzo's and former owners is that more is being spent on players in the hope that far more is gained in future transfer fees.
The only short term difference is the goal of gaining and keeping Prem status. Once that is achieved and if SM's value increases and there is interest in him he'll be off

He is 18/19, he is still growing and will have spells when size/weight goes up, then stablises, then he grows a bit more. Won't settle till at least 20/21. He is "Rooney esque" build wise. With all the support and advice around him, expect him to peak within a few weeks and will be unstoppable once again.
