Henderson has made 21 appearances for Watford

Aldershot Town have signed Watford striker Liam Henderson on an initial one-month loan deal.

The 21-year-old spent three months on loan at Colchester earlier this season, but failed to find the back of the net in nine appearances.

He told BBC Surrey: "It gives me an opportunity for some game time.

"I've been coming off the bench, which has been hard to do. Hopefully I can get 90 minutes under my belt and score some goals."

He added: "I've done it at reserve level and I know I've got goals in me. It's just getting the opportunity to show people I can score.

"People have had nothing but good things to say about the style of play and I think the league position is lying a little bit."

Aldershot boss Kevin Dillon added: "I've been looking at getting Liam in for some time. He's strong, good in the air and holds the ball up well.

"Hopefully he'll give us a spark because we desperately need somebody to do that for us."
