Elliot Watt

Elliot Watt of Motherwell was born in Preston, England on 11 March 2000 (age 25).

Elliot Watt, born in England on 11 March 2000, is a 25 year-old footballer, presently putting his best foot forward in the defensive midfield for Scotland's Motherwell. Watt boasts stature at 5ft 10in (1.8m) and maintains a playing weight of 11st 9lb (74kg), sportively displaying the number 20 jersey as his own.

The player's current market value is estimated at €450k, which would be roughly £385k (according to the current exchange rate). This estimation stands according to Transfermarkt. Though only time will affirm the precision of this assessment, Watt's contract with Motherwell is presently valid and set to prevail until 31 May 2025, with just 6 months left from when this statement was made.

Watt's journey in professional football began in July 2016 when he joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League as a trainee. Picking up valuable experience and growth, in January 2020 he was transferred on loan to Carlisle United, a step down to the National League, still in England. Later, in July 2020, Watt left the Wanderers permanently to join Bradford City in League One for an undisclosed sum. His stay wasn't long-lived as in July 2022 he was shipped out to League Two outfit, Salford City, once more for an undisclosed fee. Watt pulled on the Salford City shirt in 34 league meetings during the 2022 - 2023 season.

Continuing his journey, July 2024 saw Watt transferring from Salford to Burton Albion, again a team playing in League One in England. However, just six months later, he was on the move again this time to Scotland, loaned out to St. Johnstone in the Championship. Here, he made eight first-team appearances and netted two goals in the 2024 - 2025 season. In a surprising turn of events, he left Burton Albion in July 2025 to join Motherwell in Scotland's Premiership. Since his arrival at Motherwell in the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season, he has played ten league matches and scored one goal.

In addition to his league exploits, Watt has also shown his work-rate in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Motherwell with five starting line-up appearances and one substitute appearance.
