 Ainsworth was trainee with Derby |
Watford have completed the signing of Hereford United forward Lionel Ainsworth on a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee. Ainsworth, 20, had been on loan with the Championship club with the view to making the move permanent.
He joined Watford in late November, made his debut against Barnsley on 24 November and started the game against Plymouth on 15 December.
Ainsworth has represented England at Under-17 and Under-19 level.
The former Derby County trainee only moved to Hereford from Pride Park in August, before hitting eight goals for the Bulls in 17 starts (including two hat-tricks).
He also had loan spells last season with Bournemouth, Wycombe Wanderers and Halifax Town.
