O'Toole earns contract extension

5:26pm Wednesday 16th January 2008

JOHN-JOE O'TOOLE has been given a contract extension until 2011 after impressing this season.

The 19-year-old Watford midfielder's form has caught Aidy Boothroyd's eye so much that he was rewarded despite getting a one-year contract in September.

O'Toole made his debut for the Hornets in the Carling Cup defeat at Southend United last August.

The Ireland Under-21 player netted his first goal for Watford against Bristol City in December and his second inspired them to a memorable comeback win at Colchester later in the month.

O'Toole said: "It feels good. It's not often a player signs two contracts in a year, but I like to think that shows that the manager must have faith in me and I'm thankful for that."
