Former Watford midfielder Lewis McGugan is delighted with his move to Sheffield Wednesday.

The 26-year-old joined the Hornets on a free transfer from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2013.

“I had a very good first season under Gianfranco Zola, but after he left for whatever reason I hardly played for Watford again," McGugan told the Sheffield Star.

“From finishing as the club's second top scorer the previous season I was not involved and things started to unravel.

“The upheaval in the change of managers does not help anyone and it seemed my face didn't fit, but it came from nowhere after the success of my first season at the club.

“The club have a way of working and it is one of those things, but things didn't work out the way I expected them to especially after my first year under Zola.

“I knew I was fighting a losing battle if I stayed at Watford because I don't think they really wanted me around the club so there was no point prolonging the agony."
