Ben Watson has yet to open his goalscoring account for Watford

Watford midfielder Ben Watson has extended his contract beyond the end of the season until 2017.

There is also an option to add a further year to the 29-year-old's deal.

Watson joined the Hornets from Wigan in January for an undisclosed fee, and has since played nine times for the promotion-chasing club.

He scored the winning goal in the 2013 FA Cup final during six years at the Lancashire club and made 10 appearances this season before joining Watford.
