Matej Vydra has signed a permanent contract with Premier League returnees Watford.

The Czech Republic international has had two successful loan spells with the Hornets but has now made his move from Udinese to Vicarage Road less temporary by putting pen to a five-year contract.

Striker Vydra scored 16 goals as Watford gained promotion from the Championship last term to take his tally to 38 for the Hertfordshire outfit after his 22-goal haul in 2012/13.
