Former Arsenal goalkeeper delighted to grab Watford opportunity

Former Arsenal and Reading goalkeeper Graham Stack says his new coaching role at Premier League club Watford was an opportunity he simply couldn’t pass up.

Stack spent the last couple of years with National League side Eastleigh, but he retired from playing in September to join the Hornets’ backroom staff.

In a recent interview with Betway, the 37-year-old admitted that he felt the time was right to call time on his playing career.

“I was out of contract in the summer and wondering how long am I going to be able to keep churning out one season after another,” he said.
