Ellington Off to Derby County

Watford has put Nathan Ellington off on a season-long loan (with option to sign at the end) to Derby County. Ellington, a record ₤3.5 million signing for the Hornets has failed to produce at Watford, scoring just four goals last season.

Derby, coming off a one win, eight draw visit to the Premiership last season will pay Ellington's salary as well as a 'significant', yet undisclosed, loan fee to have his services as they attempt to rebound back out of the Championship League next season.

Ellington will be rejoining skipper Paul Jewell, Nathan's coach at Wigan.
