Elliot Watt

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

Elliot Watt, born on 11th March 2000, hails from England. This industrious lad, currently aged 25, is a hardy midfielder who shines in the central defensive role. Currently with Motherwell, Watt stands at a sound 5ft 10in (1.8m) tall and hits the scales at 11st 9lb (74kg). His preferred garments on the pitch are adorned with the number 20.

Presently, Watt holds a market value hovering around £425k, according to Transfermarkt.

Watt's professional journey kickstarted in July 2016 when he joined the Premier League's Wolverhampton Wanderers as a trainee. However, in search of more first-team football, Watt was loaned out to Carlisle United in England's National League in January 2020.

July 2020 saw Watt make a permanent move from Wolverhampton Wanderers, this time to Bradford City in League One. The fee for the services of this promising player remained undisclosed.

Moving on from Bradford City in July 2022, Watt joined Salford City in League Two, again for an undisclosed fee. In his debut season during 2022-2023, Watt showcased his talent with 34 first team appearances in league matches.

In July 2024, a move was on the cards again, this time to Burton Albion in League One. Barely six months later, in January 2025, Watt made his way northwards to St Johnstone in the Scottish Championship, albeit on loan. In a brief stint during 2024-2025 season, Watt made a positive impact with eight first team appearances and his name on the scoresheet twice in league matches.

Finally, in July 2025, Watt made a solid leap to the Scottish Premiership, joining Motherwell. His inaugural season of 2025-2026 has been encouraging thus far, with Watt marking his presence in 20 first team matches, even contributing four goals.

In addition, Watt has also been a part of Motherwell's campaign in the League Cup 2025-2026, starting in six matches and coming on as a substitute once.
