Watford Academy defender Scott Holding has completed a short-term loan move to Dover Athletic.
The 20-year-old – who signed for the Hornets’ Under-21s in May 2022 – will remain with the National League South side until January 9, 2024.
Having been on Manchester United’s books in his youth, Holding continued his development in Stockport County’s academy and made his first-team debut for the Hatters in January 2022.
He has previously experienced loan spells with Northern Premier League Premier Division outfits Ashton United and Stalybridge Celtic.
Welcome, Scott!
