Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The 2022-2023 EFL Championship campaign kicked off at the weekend with the Golden Boys playing their first match on Monday night

Watford have announced their squad numbers for the new season, with provisions made for four Super Eagles stars and a few players of Nigerian ancestry.

Defender William Troost-Ekong, and attackers Emmanuel Dennis and Samuel Kalu have retained the numbers they had last term.

Ekong will have five written on the back of his jersey, Dennis will have 25, and Kalu will wear 28.

Dennis, however, may still leave Watford before the transfer window closes as the attacker continues to attract interest from Newcastle United and Everton.

It should be noted that the final set of squad numbers does not have to be submitted to the EFL until after the transfer window has closed.

Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, a new arrival from Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam, has picked 35 as his first number at Vicarage Road.

With hopes of becoming Watford’s first-choice goalie gone, Okoye misses out on the vacant number one shirt, which has been given to Daniel Bachmann.

A few youngsters of Nigerian descent also picked squad numbers ahead of the campaign.
