Former Leyton Orient boss Omer Riza is open to a permanent job with Watford.

He joined the coaching staff at Watford's academy in August and works with the Premier League side's Under-15s and Under-16s.

Riza told the Watford Observer: “I've seen him (head of academy Darren Sarll) do his sessions and put sessions on, same as Hayden Mullins and Carl Martin who is doing the under-18s, when I've been in during the day sometimes because usually my stuff is in the evenings.

“I've not seen loads but we have time to sit down and have a chat. I spoke with Darren about the possibility of a full-time position with the club which might come to fruition.

“For me, what's important now is that I'm back in. The age group isn't important. What's important is that I'm coaching and that I'm in and around a good environment and I can get on with my progression."
