Watford forward Adalberto Penaranda has claimed that his immaturity has cost him some progress with his career and said he personally asked return to England during an unsuccessful loan spell at KAS Eupen.

The Venezuelan said that he felt a lot of the training taking place at the Belgian club was "pointless" and that he told his coach he was not interested in doing them.

Speaking to Meridiano, he said: "For everything I have been through, I am at a point where I feel that I have lost a lot, due to immaturity.

"I did not like some exercises that the coaches at Eupen used in training sessions, they seemed pointless to me and after that discussion he did not select me anymore.

"I regretted that and I went to apologise like a man."

It was during that conversation that Penaranda claims he requested to leave the club and return to Watford, where on his return head coach Nigel Pearson assured him he had a place in the squad, but that first he had to get back in shape because he had not trained for more than a month.

In February, when asked about the player's return, Pearson said: "He's one of our players and he's back with us at the moment and he's in a training programme. I've spoken to him through an interpreter, he's a very likeable lad, he's a very talented boy and we'll see what happens over the forthcoming weeks.

"Because he's one of our players, he'll be treated in exactly the same way. We'll give him the support that every other player that we've got gets, but there's no doubt he's a fabulous talent."
