Jose Holebas joined Watford in July 2015 on a three-year deal from Italian side Roma. The Greek international started his career in Germany with Viktoria Kahl in the 6^th division, before joining 1860 Munchen in 2006. After initially featuring for the German side’s second string, Holebas made his first team debut in September 2007 and went onto make 74 appearances, scoring seven goals, before moving to Greek side Olympiakos in August 2011. His time with Olympiakos was hugely successful, as he helped them to win the Greek SuperLeague and the Greek Cup and he also featured during the Champions League and Europa League for the Greek side. His impressive performances persuaded Roma to purchase him in August 2014 and Holebas' one and only season in Italy was to be a success, as he kept former England international Ashley Cole out of the side and made 34 appearances for the Italian side, scoring once. Watford purchased Holebas in July 2015, with the full-back signing a three-year deal at Vicarage Road. He made his Watford debut during the Hornets' draw with Everton on the opening day and the Greek would go on to represent the Golden Boys 13 times during the 2015/16 season.

Etienne Capoue joined Watford in July 2015 for a club record fee from Tottenham Hotspur, with the midfielder signing a four-year contract. The French midfielder started his career in his home land with Toulouse, remaining with the club until August 2013. He was to make 196 appearances, scoring 13 goals for Toulouse and his impressive form didn’t go unnoticed, as he made his international debut for France in August 2012. Capoue’s impressive form saw him quickly established as one of the hottest prospects in French football and Tottenham Hotspur fought off significant interest from other club’s to sign him in August 2013, for a fee believed to be in the region of £9 million. However, Capoue was to have a tough time at White Hart Lane, as he never got the chance to showcase his full potential. He subsequently fell out of favour with manager Mauricio Pochettino during his second season with the club and was allowed to leave at the end of the 2014/15 season, after making 36 appearances for the North London side, scoring twice. Watford acted quickly to snap the French midfielder up in July 2015, with Capoue signing a four-year contract with the Hornets. The midfielder made his Watford debut on the opening day of the 2015/16 season, playing the full 90 minutes of the Hornets' 2-2 draw with Everton. He went on to make 36 appearances for the Hornets during the 2015/16 season. After not finding the net during his first season at the club, Capoue scored his first goal for the Hornets on the opening day of the 2016/17 season against Southampton.

Costel Pantilimon joined Watford in January 2016 from Sunderland, with the Romanian goalkeeper putting pen-to-paper on a three-and-a-half-year contract at Vicarage Road. Pantilimon is mainly remembered for his time at Manchester City, whom he spent three seasons with and largely played second fiddle to Joe Hart. The 6ft 8in stopper moved to City initially on loan from Politehnica Timișoara in August 2011 and after making four appearances during the 2011/12 season, the deal became permanent the following summer. He went on to represent the Citizens a further 25 times in the following two seasons and he was part of the squad which won the Premier League, FA Cup and Capital One Cup under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellergrini. Pantilimon left City and moved to Sunderland in August 2014 to secure more first team action. The Romanian was the Black Cat's number one during the first half of the 2015/16 season, but he fell out of favor with Sam Allardyce and was allowed to leave in the January transfer window. He moved to Watford on the 19th January 2016 and made his debut for the Hornets during the 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Pantilimon went on to make 4 appearances during his first six months at Vicarage Road, where he largely acted as back-up to Heurelho Gomes. On loan at Deportivo

Whilst undergoing his two-year scholarship with the Hornet's, he made his first-team debut coming on as a substitute for Martin Taylor against Preston North End on the last day of the 2010-11 season. The 2012/13 season was the season where Hoban really made his breakthrough. After coming into the side against Huddersfield Town at the end of September, Hoban kept his place in the side all the way up to January when he became injured. He made 19 appearances last season, scoring two goals and his impressive performances meant that he was awarded the Young Player Of The Season Award for the 2012/13 season. The injury sustained during the 2012/13 season, was to keep Hoban out for over a year, and he returned in February 2014, coming on as a second half substitute against Middlesbrough. Hoban was to be a first-team regular during the 2014/15 season, making 30 appearances, and his impressive form earned him the Young Player Of The Season award for the second time in three years.
