Watford striker Jonathan Lawson has joined Finnish top-flight side FF Jaro on a permanent deal.

Lawson joined the Hornets' academy in the summer of 2023, having previously been at Cray Valley.

The 20-year-old signed his first professional contract at Vicarage Road in May 2024 and had loan spells at Kings Langley and Hitchin Town during the 2024-25 season.

He made one senior appearance for Watford, coming off the bench in last season's 3-1 away defeat by Stoke City.
