Watford youngster Alex Jakubiak is hoping that he is ready to make an impression on the Premier League.

Jakubiak has spent time with the under-23 side, along with going on loan. He spent time at clubs like Braintree Town, Oxford, Fleetwood Town and Wycombe Wanderers.

Now he is ready to give the first team a crack. He wants to impress manager Javi Gracia ahead of the new season.

"I think I can use the experience I've got, not only at Falkirk, to really kick-on now," Jakubiak told the Watford website.

"I think I did quite well against Stevenage.

"But the main thing is trying to get minutes with the first-team off the back of these two games, and playing in front of the manager can only help that.

"Hopefully I have done enough to prove to him how good I am and what I can offer to the team. He's told me to express myself and be confident when I'm playing, so hopefully I can add that to my game.

"I've been here a long-time now – training with the first-team, playing Under-23s football, going out on loan – so I'd like to settle down and get some real minutes."
