Former Watford boss Graham Taylor is delighted their Premier League promotion has been confirmed.

Taylor believes sealing their spot automatically will stand them in good stead.

Taylor, who led the Hornets to their first Premier League stint in 1998-99, told BBC Sport: "By the time we knew we were promoted, the signings we wanted to make had already gone.

"We were not able to sign enough new players soon enough as far as I was concerned.

"Everybody wants to be recognising how well this team and players have done. But there's always a future - the next day and the following season. They have to prepare themselves for it."
