The wing was out for three months after needing that metal work to repair a metatarsal he fractured in the Guinness Premiership match in October.

Haughton made a try-scoring return in last week's game at Gloucester and is eager to make up for lost time.

"It's been very frustrating but I'm pleased it's finally over and I'm back playing again," said 28-year-old Haughton. "I just got my foot caught and knew I'd done something to it. To have three months out has been very disappointing as I was really looking forward to the year ahead after a good pre-season. But, I can't do anything about that now and I'm just pleased to be back playing again."

Captain Steve Borthwick sat out the Gloucester game because of rules governing England players resting but will return at Watford on Sunday and should provide ball for Haughton to exploit against the league strugglers.

"It was frustrating at Gloucester that we weren't able to show more in attack," said Haughton.
