Elliot Watt

Elliot Watt of Samsunspor was born in Preston, England on 11 March 2000 (age 26).

Elliot Watt, born on 11 March 2000 (age 26), is a Scottish central defensive midfielder with Samsunspor, where he wears the number 4 shirt. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league campaign came with Motherwell in 2025-26, when he scored six goals in 34 appearances. For a player operating from deeper midfield, that was useful output rather than noise.

Watt is now in Turkey with Samsunspor and has made five Süper Lig appearances in 2026-27. His career to this point is that of an established Scottish professional who built a platform at Motherwell before taking on a move abroad.
