Watford's Colombian striker Cucho Hernandez has joined RCD Mallorca on loan for the season after signing a new Hornets deal, it has been confirmed.

The 20-year-old spent the last two seasons playing in Spain with Huesca where he helped them achieve promotion to La Liga.

Now he will return to the Spanish top flight for at least one more season to gain some extra game-time and experience.

During his time with Huesca, he scored 20 goals from 70 appearances in all competitions.

He is also a Colombian international and has two goals from one appearance for the national side, after he netted a brace in a friendly against Costa Rica in October last year.
