Kuszczak joins Watford on loan

Former Poland national team goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak has joined Championship side Watford on emergency loan for the rest of the season.

Kuszczak has made 61 appearances for the Manchester United since arriving in summer 2006 but has not played for the first team this season. His role has been taken over by David de Gea, Anders Lindegaard and Ben Amos.

Kuszczak, who will wear the number 35 shirt for Watford, will battle for the starting job with former England Under-21 keeper Scott Loach, who has played in 31 of Watford's 35 games so far this season.

Watford currently sit 19th in the English Championship. They are 11 points out of the final playoff spot.
