Watford have announced the signing of former West Ham striker Michail Antonio on a one-year contract. The 36-year-old Jamaican international joins as a free agent after a short period at Al-Sailiya. Antonio has been training with Alessio Dionisi's squad for a month as he aims to return to English football following a serious car crash in December 2024. Pending international clearance, he could be available for the upcoming match against Stoke City. However, it is understood he is likely a month away from being able to make a significant contribution as he improves his fitness. Watford reportedly value his experience and mentorship for what is, on average, the youngest starting XI in the Championship. The forward, who will wear the number 18 shirt, expressed his hope to bring success to the club. He has 24 caps and 5 goals for Jamaica and a current Transfermarkt market value of €400k.
