Premier League newcomers Watford have signed Greece international defender Jose Holebas from Roma.
The 31-year-old has penned a three-year deal at Vicarage Road.
The transfer fee, reported to be an initial £1.8million, was not disclosed.
Before moving to the Italian capital in August last year, where he made 34 appearances and scored once across all competitions, Holbas enjoyed a four-year spell with Olympiacos in his homeland.
Holebas began his professional career in Germany - the country of his birth - where he represented Viktoria Kahl and 1860 Munich.
Watford were promoted to the Premier League as Championship runners-up last season and recently appointed new manager Quique Flores.
