Mahon helps Watford to Premiership

Former Hereford United player Gavin Mahon has featured in the Watford team that defeated Leeds United 3-0 in the Championship Play-off at Cardiff this afternoon.

Mahon plays in the center of mid-field.

Following his release by Wolves in 1996, he joined the Edgar Street club where he made the first team in 1996/97. The midfielder spent two and a half years at Hereford before, at the time, he became the only player to be sold directly to a league team since relegation. Brentford shelled out an eventual £130,000 for the dreadlocked youngster, and he played a big part in their promotion to Division Two in 1999. He moved to Watford in early 2002.

He made 70 appearances for the Bulls and scored four goals.
