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, hails from England and is currently a valuable asset to Motherwell as a central defensive midfielder. Standing at 5ft 10in (1.8m) tall and weighing 11st 9lb (74kg), Watt wears the number 20 jersey with pride. His current estimated market value is £420k, according to Transfermarkt.

Watt embarked on his football journey in July 2016, when he joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League as a trainee. However, his adventure took him through several clubs within the English football system.

In January 2020, Watt temporarily left Wolverhampton Wanderers to support England's National League team Carlisle United on loan. After completing his loan contract, he was transferred to Bradford City, a League One team, in July 2020 for an undisclosed fee.

Two years later, in July 2022, Watt moved from Bradford City to Salford City, a team in England's League Two. In his debut season (2022 - 2023), Watt made a significant impact with 34 first team appearances in league matches.

In July 2024, Watt was transferred from Salford City to another League One team, Burton Albion. Within less than a year, in January 2025, Watt began his first foray into Scottish football when Burton Albion loaned him to St Johnstone in the Scottish Championship. During his single season loan at St Johnstone (2024 - 2025), Watt made eight first team appearances and netted two goals.

Watt's performance in the Scottish Championship caught the attention of Motherwell, a team in the Scottish Premiership, and he was transferred from Burton Albion to Motherwell in July 2025. In the current season (2025 - 2026), Watt has already had 20 first team appearances and scored four goals, proving his worth to Motherwell.
