Watford Snap Up Hoskins and Williamson

Watford Football Club has confirmed they have completed the transfer formalties for Rotherham United pair, Will Hoskins and Lee Williamson for a combined fee that could rise to £1m.

Each player had played an important part in helping the South Yorkshire side overcome a 10-point deduction at the start of the current campaign, a penalty evoked by the Football League after the Millers entered a Company Voluntary Agreement with their creditors last May in order to stay afloat.

Hoskins is a 20-year-old with 16 goals from 25 starts this season, while Williamson is a talented 24-year-old goalscoring midfielder who made over 50 career appearances for the Millers.

Both players who have signed three and a half year contracts are ineligible to feature in the Golden Boys' FA Cup Third Round tie against Coca-Cola League Two side Stockport County on Saturday, but are expected to watch the action from the stands.

Lee Williamson (Rotherham) Information
Williamson signed from Northampton in 2005 and went on to win Player Of The Season at his first attempt. He is an all action midfielder with skill, energy and good passing. He spent some time in hospital with an infection on the brain but has since returned to action. Williamson began his career at Mansfield and at just 23 he has already made over 150 first team starts and after the way he has begun at Millmoor, Rotherham fans are hoping there will be many more to come despite constant speculation linking him with a move away.
