At the end of his contract, he joined Championship side Watford, who were subsequently ordered to pay compensation. Graham was Watford's top-scorer in both of his seasons at Vicarage Road, as well as Watford F.C. Player of the Season and the Championship's overall top scorer in 2010–11.

He made a £5 million move to Sunderland in January 2013.
