Younes Kaboul has left Watford after two-and-a-half years with the club.

The 32-year-old, signed from Sunderland in August 2016, made 26 appearances for the club but he hasn't featured since September 2017 through injury.

Kaboul was not included in Watford's 25-man Premier League squad for the first half of the season and the club have now decided to cancel the former France international's contract by mutual consent.

"Everyone at Watford wishes Younes well for the future and thanks him for his contributions while at Vicarage Road," read a club statement.
