WATFORD will take on Willem II on August 4 at Vicarage Road.

The Dutch side finished 14th in this season's Eredivisie table and travel to Watford after having welcomed David Dodds and Mark Warburton, when the Hornets men were looking at their youth set up.

Watford's Academy Manager and Youth Development Officer were suitably impressed with the scheme that produces such high calibre players and have been in close contact with the Dutch club ever since.

This will of course be Watford's only home fixture of the pre season campaign before the Championship season kicks off.

Ticket details will be announced shortly on www.watfordfc.com
