Watford have announced the exits of 27 players from Vicarage Road following the Hornets’ relegation to the Championship.
Rob Edwards’ side, who were managed by Roy Hodgson during their forgettable return to England’s top-flight, finished 19th in the Premier League table and ended the 2021/22 campaign 15 points shy of safety, only clear of bottom-placed Norwich City by a single point.
Following that relegation, there has been a mass exodus of players from the Hornets, although the majority of them are via the club’s youth sides. Former England and Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster has called time on his second spell with the club. The 39-year-old made over 200 appearances across his two spells with Watford from 2005 to 2007 and 2018 to 2022.
