Name: Gavin Massey Date of Birth: 14/10/1992 Position: Striker Club: Watford Previous clubs: None International caps: None Massey has come through the ranks at Watford, representing the club at U018 and reserve level during his apprenticeship. Massey earned his first professional contract in May 2010 after helping the team to reach the quarter finals of the FA Youth Cup. The following summer Massey was linked with a move to Liverpool but insisted that he has no interest in leaving Watford. “I heard the week I signed my pro-deal that Liverpool were interested in me but I never thought about moving, I’ve been at Watford all my life and I want to learn my trade here,” Massey said. A big move is Massey’s long term goal however, as he hinted that he one day hopes to play for a club of Liverpool’s stature, using another Liverpool target as an example of the success you can achieve by impressing at Watford “If you look at Ashley, he stuck at it, did really well and got a big move. It just proves if you stay at Watford and work hard you’ll get your opportunity.” Massey made two appearances for Watford in the pre-season but is yet to feature this season for the first team. He is still a regular for the reserves however and will be hoping to catch the eye of Malky Mackay.
