Danny Rose QUITS Watford after having contract torn up with ex-Tottenham defender now a free agent
DANNY ROSE has sensationally QUIT Watford to become a free agent.
Rose, 32, has not featured for the Hornets this season and saw his game time limited last season.
The club confirmed the news via a statement on their website.
They said: “Watford FC and Danny Rose have agreed a mutual cancellation of the defender’s contract with both parties in agreement that their futures will head in different directions.
“The Hornets thank Danny – who featured nine times last season in addition to the seven games on loan he played in 2008/09 – for his service and wish him well for his next opportunity.”
Rose was spotted training with former club Tottenham earlier in the summer.

This move was understood to be upon Rose’s own request as he desperately seeked a move away from Vicarage Road.
He did also not travel in pre-season with the Watford squad.
Until January 2020 the left-back had carved out a strong position within the Spurs squad, before falling out with then manager Jose Mourinho.
Rose had branded team-mates “s***” and accused Mourinho of picking favourites.

He was subsequently shipped out to Newcastle on loan for the remainder of that season before penning a two-year deal with Watford last summer.
However, after just eight league appearances – with the last one coming in December – Rose and Watford have parted ways.
