After being released by Derby County in the summer, former Watford and Wycombe Wanderers man Ikechi Anya is still a free agent.

He played 21 times before dropping into non-league with Oxford City and Halesowen. Following that, Anya then joined the Glenn Hoddle academy in Spain, where he remained for less than a year.

The Scot then spent a short stint with Northampton Town before returning to Spain, where he would stay for the next three years. Anya spent time on the books with Sevilla, Celta Vigo, Granada and Cadiz before earning a move to Watford.

Time in England

Anya notched up 138 appearances in a four-year stint at Vicarage Road. In the process, he found the back of the net eight times, providing 24 assists.
