Haviv Ohayon has joined Watford FC on loan for one season as the 17-year old goalkeeper who extended his contract by five more years, was loaned-out to the Premiership club with an option for a permanent transfer.

Ohayon, a graduate of Maccabi’s youth department, who made 3 Toto Cup appearances for Maccabi this season, impressed the Hornets during a week experience he spent at Vicarage Road last season.

Maccabi’s Sports Director  Jordi Cruyff told the club’s official website: “We are pleased for Haviv as we didn’t want to let him miss out on this opportunity of going out for one year to test himself in the country which has one of the best leagues in the world. Training on a weekly basis amongst the best could benefit Haviv, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Israeli football”.
