Scottish forward Tony Watt, born on 29th December 1993, is presently making his strides on the field for Partick Thistle, donning the number 32 jersey. With a height of 5ft 11in (1.82m) and weight 13st 12lb (88kg), he adds a formidable presence in their attack. As of now, Watt's market value is estimated to be around the £180,000 mark, as per Transfermarkt.

Watt's journey as a professional footballer took off in July 2010, with his joining Airdrieonians in the Championship in Scotland. He had a moderate start, making 15 appearances and netting three goals in his debut season. However, it was his transfer to Celtic in the Premiership in January 2011 for around £100,000 that marked a significant leap in his career.

Collectively, over three seasons (2011 - 2014) with Celtic, Watt made 25 league appearances, and managed to find the back of the net seven times. Notably, the 2012 - 2013 season enjoyed the majority of his Celtic appearances, where he made 20 showings and contributed with five goals.

In August 2013, Watt embarked on his first foreign stint, moving on loan to Belgium's Lierse SK in the Derde Klasse. Here he impressed during his 17 appearances, scoring eight goals. However, his final departure from Celtic came around a year later in July 2014, when he transferred to Standard Liege in the Pro League in Belgium for around £1.2m. Following a stint at Standard Liege, Watt made a move to English club Charlton Athletic. His time at Charlton was punctuated with loan spells at other clubs, including Cardiff City, Blackburn Rovers, and Hearts in Scotland.

After his time in England and a short stint back in Belgium with Oud-Heverlee Leuven, Watt returned to his home soil, Scotland, and sported the colours of quite a few clubs, including St Johnstone, Motherwell, Dundee United, and St Mirren (on loan). Particularly, his performances during the 2023 - 2024 season at Dundee United stand out, where he scored 13 goals in 36 appearances.

In 2025, Watt found himself back at Motherwell on loan before making a permanent move to his current club, Partick Thistle. His current season (2025 - 2026) with Partick Thistle has seen him make 15 appearances so far and score four goals. Watt has also participated in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Partick Thistle, chipping in with one goal out of four starts and two appearances as a substitute.
