Kyrell Lisbie has signed for Championship rivals Millwall for a reported fee of £2.5 million, just four years after being released from the Watford academy.

Lisbie - with his twin brother, Kyreece, who has just signed for Reading - spent 12 months with the Hornets between 2021-22.

Neither player was deemed good enough to make the grade, though, with Kyrell dropping back into non-league with Woodford Town and then returning to former club Cray Valley Paper Mills.

He impressed with the south London club, memorably setting up an equaliser against Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup, before moving on to Braintree Town in 2024 and then Peterborough United in 2025.

The winger, 22, scored 14 goals in 51 appearances for Posh last season, earning himself a big move into the Championship with Millwall, who lost to Hull City in last season's play-off semi-final.

The Lisbie twins had initially been turned down by Watford in 2018, before heading on a trial to West Ham, where they came up against the Hornets.

Then academy coach Tom Hart was suitably impressed and was keen to sign them, the pair even involved in first-team training during the 2021/22 Premier League season, but released that summer.

Now Watford may be coming up against Kyrell in the Championship in 2026/27.
