Watford midfielder
Clint Easton was Nigel Worthington's
first signing in the summer of 2001. Transfer-listed by new Watford
supremo Gianluca Vialli, Clint signed for Norwich in a deal that
could be worth £200,000 for the Hornets. Named for Hollywood legend
Eastwood, Clint didn't appear to have any qualms moving eastwards
to Norwich where he will play either in the centre or left of midfield.
Clint rose through the Watford youth ranks,playing in two successive
promotions and winning England Youth caps. However he fell out of
favour during 2000/01 and made just 17 appearances. This influenced
Vialli to transfer list him. Clint is recognised as an accomplished
passer of the ball.
Easton emerged as a regular member of the first team in the latter
stages of the 2001/02 season. Willing to contribute defensively,
he had a hand in all three goals in Norwich's play-off semi-final
victory over Wolves. He added another 28 appearances during 2002/03
Hardly used during 2003/4, his contract was terminated by mutual
consent at the end of the 2003/4 promotion-winning season. Clint
joined Wycombe on trial, playing for them against Beaconsfield on
10th July 2004. Obviously impressing Tony Adams, he signed a contract
with the Chairboys on Friday 16th July 2004.
Clint transferred to Gillingham on 29th June 2006 but was released
at the end of the 2006/7 season. He joined Hereford United on 20th
July 2007. In his first season, the Bulls were promoted into League
Two, finishing in third place behind MK Dons and Peterborough in
League Two.
