Former Hull City boss Marco Silva's first game in charge of Watford will be a friendly fixture against Woking in July.

Silva, who left Hull last week after failing to keep them in the Premier League, was announced as the new manager of Watford on Saturday.

The Portuguese manager will bring his Watford team to the Laithwaite Stadium on Saturday, July 8, for a pre-season friendly against the Cards.

The Cards said in a statement on their website: "Woking Football Club is delighted to welcome Premier League side Watford to The Laithwaite Community Stadium on Saturday 8th July for a pre-season friendly.



"The match will be hotly-anticipated by both sets of supporters, with it being both Watford head coach Marco Silva's first match in charge and Anthony Limbrick's first game as Woking boss.



"The friendly is a repeat of last season's opener, which saw a host of Premier League stars grace The Laithwaite Community Stadium pitch, and was our biggest pre-season attendance.

"Kick off time is 3pm, with admission prices set to £15 for Adults, £10 for Concessions and £5 for Under 16s."
