WATFORD have bolstered their ranks ahead of the return to the Premier League with the signing of Danny Rose.
The left-back, 30, joins the Hornets on a free transfer after penning a two-year deal.
Rose was a free agent after his contract at Tottenham expired this summer.
The England international returns to Vicarage Road 12 years after making seven appearances in a brief loan stint.
He made 214 appearances for Tottenham, earning 29 caps in the process.
But Rose was frozen out in recent seasons and infamously was filmed having a frank conversation with former boss Jose Mourinho during their Amazon Prime documentary last year.
Rose did not make a single appearance for Spurs last season with his final game for the club in the home defeat to Liverpool in January 2020.
The defender made 13 appearances on loan at Newcastle in the second half of the 2019-20 season.
Rose becomes Watford’s third signing of the summer after landing Nantes midfielder Imran Louza for £10million.
They also signed ex-Middlesbrough striker Ashley Fletcher on a free transfer.
Watford sealed their promotion back to the Premier League at their first attempt after finishing second in the Championship.
Rose’s arrival is likely to end their pursuit of Ashley Young.
The free agent was rumoured to be heading back to his boyhood club but could now sign for Aston Villa.
