Teenager Jerome Sinclair has signed for Watford, ending his four-year stay with Liverpool.

The 19-year-old Birmingham-born forward is off to Vicarage Road on a four-year deal, according to his management company Colossal Sports which made the announcement via their Instagram page.

Sinclair joins the Hornets on a free transfer and will meet up with his new team-mates on July 1.

The youngster made five appearances for the Reds and also played one game for Wigan during a loan spell at the DW Stadium last year.

At the age of 16 he made his Liverpool debut, coming on as a second-half substitute during a Capital One Cup match against West Brom in September 2012.

Speaking back in January, Jurgen Klopp said he thought Jerome Sinclair wasn't strong enough to start as a striker in the Premier League so was happy to let him leave Liverpool

He made two brief Premier League appearances in May 2015, before making his only start in an FA Cup match at Exeter in January of this year.
