Academy: Hunter & Goulding Depart On Loan

By: Watford FC Staff

Watford FC youngster Damani Hunter has joined Isthmian League North Division side Grays Athletic on loan until the end of April, the club confirms.

The 18-year-old forward signed for the Hornets back in 2018, and has so far enjoyed a productive 2022/23 season that saw him feature on the bench during the first-team’s Emirates FA Cup defeat at Reading in January.

While also being a regular for Omer Riza’s Under-21 side, Hunter has spent time at National League South outfit Braintree Town this campaign, and he will now continue his development at Parkside.

Meanwhile, Under-18 midfielder Ethan Goulding has linked up with Oxhey Jets in the Combined Counties League Premier Division North on a work experience loan, also until the end of April.

The second-year scholar has been with Watford since 2013, and made his debut for the Jets in a 1-1 draw at Burnham on Saturday (February 18).

Go well, lads!
