I’m delighted, I’ve had to be really patient over the summer to get this done but I’m just buzzing that it’s happened now.

I was out of contract and looking for a club, and I got the opportunity to come down to Watford.

I’m willing to take any opportunity that comes in football because I love it, and I’m delighted the decision’s paid off.

I’ve settled in quite well, I’m enjoying it. It’s quite far from home but all of the lads have made me feel welcome.

Watford F.C. Under-23s and Academy which is the youth setup of Watford said both of Chikukwa’s goals against Crewe were from close range, demonstrating the youngster’s ability to burst into the six-yard box.

Chikukwa describes himself as a striker who “likes to run in behind, but also I’m a bit of a poacher, so those balls in and around the six-yard box I’m usually there.” He continued:

I’m pacey, I like to get on the ball and show what I can do, I can beat a man.
