Speaking to the clubs official website www.theshots.co.uk Brown said, "I think that there is every likelihood that Watford would have kept Joel if they had remained in the Championship. He is a young Jamiacan Under 21 International who will add pace, strength and firepower to what is already an exciting striking force.
"We learnt last year that we didn't have enough players up front so we are showing people that we are out to win things this season and we will sign quality players if they become available".
