Published: April 24, 2021Nigerian quartet William Troost-Ekong, Isaac Success, Joseph Hungbo and Tom Dele-Bashiru are in celebratory mood following Watford's return to the English Premier League.
It has taken the Hornets only one season to make a return to the top-flight and they achieved promotion after beating Millwall 1-0 at Vicarage Road on Saturday afternoon, thanks to Ismaila Sarr's winning goal from the spot in the 11th minute.

Signed from Udinese in the summer transfer window, Troost-Ekong has been a key player since his switch, making 31 starts in the Championship.
Injuries limited Success and Tom Dele-Bashiru's appearances to only eight and two respectively, while Hungbo, one of the club's most promising youngsters, has played four games so far.
