They left it late, but they got it over the line…
Wexford’s Festy Ebosele, who was playing with Udinese FC in the Serie A, has made a move to the English Championship close to deadline day.
The Enniscorthy native, who played his schoolboys soccer with Moyne Rangers, has joined Watford, who will no doubt be pushing for a promotion spot back to the Premier League this season.
Festy confirmed the news yesterday, with a simple caption “let’s get to work” while wearing a Watford jersey.
It’s big news for Festy and all involved. He will be hoping that he gets regular appearances, also helping his faith with the Republic of Ireland team.
