Watford youngster Gavin Massey has no regrets about committing his immediate future to the club despite alleged interest from Premier League giants Liverpool.
The 17-year-old Vicarage Road prodigy recently signed a new two-year contract extension at the Hornets despite rumoured overtures from Liverpool, and although their interest was flattering, Massey was eager to continue his development at Watford.
The young striker told the Watford Observer: “I heard the week before 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.
"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.
"Looking at Lee Hodson, he played almost every game last season and it shows if the gaffer likes you and trusts you, you'll get the chance. Those two players are players I look up to.
"I also quite like staying at home so I didn't want a move to Liverpool and to a different environment. I'm quite happy at Watford.”
