Derby striker returns to Watford

Smith spent six years with Watford from 1997 to 2003

Watford have re-signed winger Tommy Smith for around £500,000 from Championship side Derby.

Smith, who progressed through the youth ranks to the first team at Vicarage Road, has signed a four-year contract with the Premiership newcomers.

He left the Hornets in 2003 after making 167 appearances and joined the Rams following a spell with Sunderland.

Smith, 26, started his career as a striker but has mainly been used as a winger during his time at Pride Park.
