Chris Iwelumo has left Burnley to join Championship rivals Watford.

The striker, 32, has signed for the Hornets on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Iwelumo leaves Turf Moor after 12 months as a Burnley player following his signing from Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer.

He told the Watford FC official website: "It's a great opportunity for me to come and achieve something - I think there's real ambition here and I'm just glad to be part of it.

"I have been speaking to the gaffer and he's so confident that you can feel the little goose bumps going.

"I've been very lucky in that I've had four promotions and I've played in the Premier League, I want to keep on achieving things.”
