Championship club Watford have signed former Liverpool player Albert Riera on a short-term contract until the end of the season.

The Italian club and Watford are both owned by the Pozzo family and a deal to loan the midfielder back to England in the summer might also be on the cards.
Riera joined English giants Liverpool in 2008 after serving three seasons at La Liga side Espanyol, before he was sold to Greek side Olympiacos in 2010.

The 31-year-old has also featured in 16 games for Spain and has four goals to his name.
