Watford midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru has signed a new two-year contract at Vicarage Road, with an option for a further 12 months.

The 24-year-old joined The Hornets from Manchester City's youth set-up in 2019 and made 38 appearances last season, scoring three goals.

He needs to play one more game to reach 50 for the club, having missed most of the 2020-21 campaign with a serious knee injury, which was followed by a season on loan at Reading.

Watford finished 15th in the Championship last term and will start the new season with a trip to Millwall on 10 August.
