CHELSEA defender Caleb Wiley has completed a return to Championship club Watford on a season-long loan after he impressed last season and wanted to make the move back to the club

The 20-year-old defender joined the club last summer from MLS side Atlanta United for a fee of $11.4M (£8.5M), and spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Strasbourg in France, before suffering a shoulder injury. He then joined the Hornets on loan during the second half of the season, where he impressed across 10 appearances for the Championship side.

The Hornets appointed Paulo Pezzolano as their new head coach last month and are revamping their roster ahead of a push for promotion to the Premier League. The fullback is their ninth addition to the roster this offseason.

Chelsea posted on the club website: ‘We look forward to supporting Caleb throughout his loan.

‘Good luck, Caleb!’

“We are delighted to have secured Caleb on loan once more,” said Watford Sporting Director Gian Luca Nani. “He was impressive in the games he played for us last season and his attitude is incredible.

“To have him for a full season means we have the talent and consistency Paulo wants defensively.”

This is a great decision from Wiley to make, he got some very good game time at Watford last season and should be able to get some much needed minutes next season.
