Mackay snapped up the 23-year-old left-back last week on a two-year deal from Slovenian side NC Celje. "For me, Jure looks as if he is a guy who can play in the Championship and that is what I wanted, he is committed and he is an athlete," said the Scot. "He speaks perfect English and since he has been here he has been excellent in terms of his attitude and his application. "He wants to come and play in England and he wants to come and play for Watford. "He is absolutely delighted to be here and he wants to make an impact on English football so that's something we want to give him the stage for, and if it takes a little bit of time for him to bed into English football and the English way of training then so be it."
