WATFORD midfielder Piero Mingoia has joined Hayes & Yeading on loan.

Mingoia has signed with Nas Bashir’s relegation-haunted side until April 25 and will go straight into the squad for tomorrow’s crunch clash with AFC Telford .

The 20-year-old endured a frustrating loan spell with Uwe Rosler’s Brentford earlier this season, with the Hornets youngster failing to feature at Griffin Park.

Bashir has also moved to clear out some of the deadwood at Kingfield, releasing Nathan Koo-Boothe, Will Hendry, Tyrone Berry, James Folkes and Mo Bettamer.

Following them out of the door is Stevenage hitman Michael Thalassitis who has been recalled by his parent club after his successful loan spell at United.

Thalassitis missed Tueday night's defeat to Grimbsy due to international commitments with Cyprus.
