Sebastian Prodl has left Watford by mutual consent, it has been announced.

The Austrian has struggled with injuries during the past two seasons and has struggled to retain a place in the starting line up as a result.

A statment on the club website confirmed that the 32-year-old's contract had been terminated and included quotes from the player, who said he was delighted to have Watford on his CV and that being voted player of the season was a highlight of his time at Vicarage Road.

He said: "It was always a dream to play in the Premier League and Watford gave me this opportunity.

“I will always reflect very positively on my time here. When I signed four and a half years ago, my gut told me it was going to be a very good move and everything has proved this to be right.

“I am just grateful to have Watford on my CV, I am moving on now but I am glad I have been here.

“Being voted Player of the Season as a defender was a special honour. Big thanks to all the supporters for always believing in me, even when I wasn't playing.

“I will always come back and watch the guys play at Vicarage Road and Watford will always have a place in my heart.”
