Foster Back At Watford

Last updated : 11 August 2006 By Gary Calder

Watford Football Club has confirmed that Manchester United goalkeeper, Ben Foster has returned to Vicarage Road on loan.

The one-year deal, similar to the one that worked so successfully for both player and club last season, will see the 23-year-old furthering his footballing education whilst helping the newly promoted side settle into the Premiership.

Foster himself had made no secret of his desire to spend a further campaign down South, but there had been a delay in his return due to Manchester United's inability to secure a suitable back up to regular first choice Edwin Van Der Sar during the summer.

However, the arrival of Poland international Tomasz Kuszczak from West Bromwich Albion yesterday ensured the Red Devils had enough cover to allow Foster to continue his development at Watford.
