Angelo Ogbonna has been released by Watford after one season at Vicarage Road

Angelo Ogbonna will be released by Watford at the end of his contract next month.

The Italy international defender signed a one-year deal with the Hornets last summer after he was allowed to leave West Ham United following nine seasons in east London.

Ogbonna, 36, made just eight appearances this season and was the biggest name to be released when the club announced its retained list.

The centre-back began his career at Torino and, after two seasons with Juventus, ed West Ham in 2015, making 249 appearances for the Hammers.

Watford announced that Vakoun Bayo and Yasser Larouci will also return to their parent clubs, Udinese and Troyes respectively, while under-21 striker Jonathan Lawson has been offered a new contract.
