Watford have confirmed the signing of full-back James Morris and defender Josh O’Brien.
Morris's arrival on a one-year contract, with the option of another year, was revealed earlier this week after he impressed during a trial period with the club.
However, along with the official announcement confirming the former Southampton man's arrival, the Hornets have also confirmed a contract for a second trialist, O'Brien, who came off the bench in Watford's recent pre-season friendly against Brentford.
The 18-year-old is an Irish-American centre-back who started his career at Seattle Sounders.
✍️ We are pleased to confirm that defenders James Morris & Josh O'Brien have both signed one year professional deals, following successful trial periods with the club.
