BARELY 24 hours after taking over at Vicarage Road, new Watford manager Ray Lewington has already made his first signing.

Out of contract centre half Sean Dyche has joined from Milwall, and could get his first outing in Hornets' colours in the friendly at St Albans City tomorrow (Saturday, June 13).

The 31-year-old defender, whose previous clubs include Bristol City and Chesterfield, is thought to have signed a two-year deal, and is renowned for his leadership qualities.

Dyche's capture was confirmed at a press conference at Vicarage Road today where Lewington was officially unveiled.
