The 23-year-old, who has one senior cap for Scotland, made over 150 appearances for Hibs during his 10-year stay at the club. The Hornets said on their official website: "Watford FC is pleased to confirm the arrival of defender Ryan Porteous from Scottish Premiership side Hibernian for an undisclosed fee, on a four-and-a-half-year deal." Porteous was signed by Aberdeen as a schoolboy, but joined Hibs aged 13 and - after progressing through the ranks - he helped them finish third in the Scottish top flight in the 2020/21 season.
