Watford defender Samir has completed a permanent move to Mexican side Tigres.

The 27-year-old Brazilian only arrived at Vicarage Road in January from Udinese and played in 19 Premier League games.

After featuring in the Hornets’ first three pre-season friendlies, he didn’t play in the games against Wycombe Wanderers and Southampton, after which the Watford Observer reported the player was set to move on.
