Ex-Hull City star facing uncertain future after being released
Jake Livermore is one of a number of players looking for a new club after being given the news that his contract at Watford will not be released this summer, twelve months on from suffering the same fate at West Brom.
The former Hull City ace played 32 times in the Championship last season and his inclusion saw the Hornets lose only one in 12 between October 7 and December 23 with the 34-year-old in the team in what was their best run of form in the campaign - and that run of form saw him score twice in the win at QPR but following the arrival of Tom Cleverley, played just six minutes in the remainder of the campaign.
Elsewhere, former City players Sam Clucas and Liam Walsh have also been released by Rotherham United and Swansea City respectively while reported target Brahima Diarra is also on the lookout for a new club following his departure from relegated Huddersfield Town.
