Watford have bolstered their goalkeeping ranks by signing teenage stopper Myles Roberts from Reading.

The 18-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half year deal at Vicarage Road and will join the Hornets’ Under-18 squad.

Roberts had been with the Championship club since 2017 where he was a team-mate of Under-23 captain Jamal Balogun prior to his move to Watford.
