As the season reaches its conclusion, Watford’s loanees have been playing their part at their temporary homes.
To begin, in the battle to stay afloat in the Sky Bet Championship, Huddersfield Town took a big step towards safety thanks to the contribution of Joseph Hungbo in a 2-1 win over Cardiff City (April 30).
The winger scored the Terriers’ opening goal with half-an-hour left to play, which set the away side on the path to an important victory with two matches remaining.
In the National League, Shaq Forde rescued a point for York City against second-placed Notts County (April 29), striking in the 88th minute to level the score at 1-1.
At the home of County - Meadow Lane - Forde exhibited impressive composure to slot the ball past the goalkeeper in a one-versus-one scenario.
That point clinched on the final day of the fifth-tier season means that the Minstermen secure a 19th-place finish.
Meanwhile, JJ McKiernan featured in Eastleigh’s final-day 1-1 draw with FC Halifax Town (April 29).
Falling victim to a late equaliser, McKiernan’s side confirmed a ninth-place finish in the National League, just four points off the play-off places.
Elsewhere, William Troost-Ekong was an unused substitute as Salernitana played out a 1-1 draw with top-of-the-table Napoli (April 30), as the defender’s side notched a late equaliser to delay their opponents winning the Serie A title.
In addition, Domingos Quina was named on the bench in Rotherham United’s 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough (May 1), that ensured the Millers will be playing Championship football next term.
