Watford defender Joao Ferreira has signed for French second division side Saint-Étienne.

The 24-year-old, who has been with the Hornets since January 2023, has moved for an undisclosed fee.

The Portuguese right-back has not played for the club since April of that year and has spent the past two seasons out on loan.

Ferreira made 35 appearances in Italy's Serie A for Udinese during 2023-24 and then spent last term in Portugal's top flight with SC Braga.
