Watford captain Troy Deeney tells young pros to limit social media

Watford captain Troy Deeney has told young players to limit their use of social media.

Deeney says young pros should avoid the likes of Snapchat and Twitter.

"The problem for kids is social media has been thrown out there by agents and they want to brand themselves before they have done anything," Deeney told the Watford Observer.

“There are girls on there too. When we were kids, we'd go to the ice-skating rink, or the local park and meet girls.

“Now it's post a few pictures, hope they like them and do it all on your phone. It's just the way the world is moving.

“There are so many distractions and catfishes, so keep your head down, do your job and you'll have a long and successful career."
