Watford boss Aidy Boothroyd has made his first summer signing in the shape of sport scientist Mick Court.

Crewe boss Dario Gradi told the club’s official website: ‘Mick is moving on to Watford and a chance to work for a Premiership club. He is an ambitious young man, and we wish him the best.

‘He will be difficult to replace, because he is something of a trailblazer in his field, which is why Watford wanted him.’

Court had been at Gresty Road for two years but has decided to work for Premiership Watford
