(Reuters) - Australia defender Lucas Neill has joined English Championship side Watford until the end of the season as he looks to stake his claim to lead the Socceroos at the World Cup in Brazil.

The 35-year-old, who has 96 caps, impressed Watford while training with the club as a free agent. He had been without a team since leaving J-League side Omiya Ardija in November.
