Danny Rose QUITS Watford after having contract torn up with ex-Tottenham defender now a free agent | The Sun

DANNY ROSE has sensationally QUIT Watford to become a free agent.

Rose, 32, has not featured for the Hornets this season and saw his game time limited last season.

The club confirmed the news via a statement on their website.

They said: "Watford FC and Danny Rose have agreed a mutual cancellation of the defender’s contract with both parties in agreement that their futures will head in different directions.

"The Hornets thank Danny – who featured nine times last season in addition to the seven games on loan he played in 2008/09 – for his service and wish him well for his next opportunity."

Rose was spotted training with former club Tottenham earlier in the summer.
