Goalkeeper Myles Roberts has joined Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle on a season-long loan.

The 22-year-old was a regular in the first-team squad last season, and was on the bench for the game at Leeds United.

However, head coach Tom Cleverley said the Hornets would be looking to send Roberts out on loan to get him some senior game experience.

Roberts joined Watford from Reading in 2020, and had a spell out on loan with Wingate and Finchley of the Isthmian Premier League before spending the second half of that season with National League South side Concord Rangers.

The keeper stayed in the National League South during 2022/23 and became regular first choice at Welling United, and went on to claim the Manager’s Player of the Year award.

He then returned to Watford in April 2023 and featured on the bench for the Sky Bet Championship clash away at Coventry City.

Roberts is the second Watford player to agree a loan move to north of the border, with Jack Grieves joining Ross County last week.

Thistle manager Kris Doolan told their official club website: “It’s no secret that we’ve been looking to add a goalkeeper to the group especially after David Mitchell picked up his injury against Clyde so we’re delighted to bring Myles in.

“He’s a player who comes highly recommended from contacts at Watford and having been out on loan in England previously he also has a good grasp of what it’s like playing in a first team environment every week.

“From my initial conversations with him I can tell he’s excited to be joining the club and hungry to make an impact as a Partick Thistle player.

“He’s had the chance to meet some of the squad today but he’ll join training tomorrow and I’m sure he’ll settle to this group well.”
