Chelsea defender Jack Cork has joined Watford on-loan to the end of the season.

The 19-year-old spent the first half of the campaign with Southampton, where he made 25 appearances, including a 3-0 defeat against the Hornets back in October.

Cork, an England Under 21 international, links up with Chelsea team-mate Liam Bridcutt and former reserve team manager Brendan Rodgers, who took up the managerial role at Vicarage Road in November.
