Elliot Watt

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

Elliot Watt, born on the 11th of March, 2000 and now 25 years of age, hails from England. This diligent midfielder predominantly claims the role of a central defensive midfielder for Motherwell, and favours the number 20 jersey. With a respectable stature of 5ft 10inches (1.8m) and a solid weight of 11st 9lb (74kg), his physical presence on the field is not to be undermined.

According to Transfermarkt, Watt's current market value stands approximately at €500k, which converts roughly to £430,000 - a testament to his skills on the pitch.

Getting his initial break in July 2016, Watt began his footballing journey with Wolverhampton Wanderers as a trainee in England's esteemed Premier League. After enhancing his shieldmanship, Watt was loaned to Carlisle United in the National League in January 2020.

A few transfers to tread the path of progression led him from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Bradford City in July 2020, and from Bradford City to Salford City in July 2022, both for undisclosed amounts. During his debut season of 2022-2023 at Salford City, Watt marked his pitch prowess with 34 first-team appearances in league matches.

Further advancing in his career, Watt made a move from Salford City to Burton Albion in July 2024, a League One club based in England. Just six months later, in January 2025, Watt was loaned from Burton Albion to St Johnstone, marking his first stint in Scottish football. It was here that Watt found the back of the net twice in the eight first team appearances he made during the 2024-2025 season.

In July 2025, Watt bid adieu to Burton Albion and made headway to Motherwell, a well-regarded Premiership club in Scotland. Currently, in the 2025-2026 season, Watt has impressed with 25 first-team appearances and four goals scored in his time with Motherwell. His commitment to Motherwell has been further endorsed in his League Cup 2025-2026 performances, where he started six times and came on as a substitute once, along with a Scottish Cup 2025-2026 appearance where he also came on as a substitute.
