Watford have announced the signing of Italy international Marco Motta, subject to international clearance.

The 28-year-old full-back was without a club after being released by Juventus in February.

Motta, who played for Atalanta, Udinese and Roma ahead of a move to Turin in 2010, has made one appearance for the senior Italy side and also represented his country at the 2008 Olympic Games.

He has had loan spells at Catania, Bologna and Genoa in recent seasons while struggling to get into the Juventus first team.

His last appearance for Juventus was in October 2013 as a late substitute, but he has not featured in senior football since pre-season.
