Watford Academy defender Scott Holding has today extended his loan at Dover Athletic until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old – who signed for the Hornets’ Under-21s in May 2022 has been a positive influence on our defence since his arrival and was our player of the month in December.

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.

Glad to have you on board, Scott!
