The 28-year-old made 23 league appearances for Watford last season before sustaining a season-ending hamstring injury in January.

He underwent surgery on a long-term Achilles tendon problem in the off-season.

"I had been used to playing with pain in my ankle. Now that's going to be a thing of the past, I'll be fit and raring to win my place back once I've finished my rehab," Cleverley told the club's website https://www.watfordfc.com/club/hornets-shop/new-201819-away-kit-sale-now.
