Joseph Hungbo joins The Staggies

Joseph Hungbo has today become Manager Malky Mackay’s tenth summer signing at the Global Energy Stadium, joining on a season-long loan from English Premier League side Watford FC.

Hungbo was initially a product of the prestigious Crystal Palace Academy, having played with them since he was 9 years old. He signed professionally for Crystal Palace in 2018, captaining them in his final season at academy level. Hungbo, a pacey winger, was then snapped up by Watford at the end of his contract.

Joseph made his senior debut for Watford in an FA Cup match against Tranmere Rovers. He has subsequently made further FA Cup appearances against Manchester United at Old Trafford and also featured for Watford in the Championship run in, helping them gain promotion back to the Premier League last season.

On bringing Joseph to Ross County, Manager Malky Mackay said, “Joseph is an exciting prospect, who has played in the Championship, learned his trade at two Premier League Clubs and, at 21, he has already shown a terrific appetite to play at the top level of the game. We feel this can be a really good move for him to challenge and prove himself in the SPFL.”

“I would like to thank Watford FC for the way in which they conducted the loan deal and our continued relationship.”
