Kiko Femenia joined the Hornets in July 2017, after his contract expired with Spanish side Alavés.

He showed his talent making 23 appearances in his debut season – both at right-back and right midfield. He scored his first Watford goal by opening the scoring in a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth.

In 2018/19 the fleet-footed Spaniard made 34 appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal in the 4-1 home win over Fulham in the Premier League.

Femenía featured 77 times during two seasons at Estadio Mendizorrotza, including 31 appearances in the Spanish top-flight during 2016/17 and 38 league outings – plus five goals – as Alavés secured promotion as champions the year before.

Originally a right winger, Femenía made his professional debut as a 17-year-old with Hércules and has since also turned out for Barcelona and Real Madrid’s B teams, as well as Alcorcón. 

He is also a former youth international for Spain at Under-20, Under-19 and Under-18 levels.
