Joining the squad:
Scott Severin, a 30-year old midfielder/defender from Aberdeen on free transfer. Severin has 14 caps with the Scotland National squad.
Danny Graham, a striker from Carlisle United and former U20 English National player. Started strong last season, but his form dropped off in the last half.
Jure Travner, a 23-year old Solvenian left back, signed to a two-year contract. Formerly with Celje.
Finally, Malky Mackay was named permanent manager June 15.

The season opens August 8 at Vicarge Road as the Hornets host Doncaster Rovers. The Vikings' skipper Sean O'Driscoll starts his fourth season at the helm.
Three days later, the 09-10 League Cup kicks off for Watford with a visit to League 2 side Barnet.
Looking forward to a great season.
