Watford midfielder Lee Williamson has admitted that he found it tough to adapt to life in the top-flight following his January switch from Rotherham United.

The 24-year-old made just five appearances for the Hornets as they slipped back down to the Championship, but Williamson is ready to use the knowledge gained for a tough first few months at Vicarage Road.

He told the club's official website: "The step up is obviously massive and it does take a bit of time.

"The speed of the game is quicker, the players' technical ability is far superior, everyone is better overall and players are far more consistent.

"Each club has their own style of football, so it was different to playing at Rotherham for me and it took me a bit of time to adapt.

"I by-passed the Championship when I went from Rotherham, so it will be another new experience for me, but there is no reason why we can't come back up.

"We've got a good squad with a lot of back-up, so if we got injuries or suspensions, we've got players who can step in.
