FOREST Green Rovers have signed Watford defender Dale Bennett on a two-and-a-half year deal.

Just turned 23, Bennett has been in the senior squad at Vicarage Road since 2008 after coming through The Hornets renowned academy system which has produced Paul Robinson and Ashley Young.

Playing predominantly as a central defender, Bennett will fill the squad position vacated by Chris Todd who moved to Eastleigh earlier in the transfer window and he will wear shirt number six.

Bennett has played a total of 25 times for Watford, including 22 appearances in the League Championship, but has fallen out of favour in the past 18 months – going out on loan to Brentford (League One), AFC Wimbledon (League Two), Yeovil Town (League One).
