Tony Watt, born 29 December 1993 in Scotland, is a seasoned forward who primarily plays as a striker for Partick Thistle. Standing tall at 5ft 11in (1.82m) and weighing 13st 12lb (88kg), Watt dons the number 32 jersey. Today, his market worth is approximately £130k, as per Transfermarkt.
Watt started his career at Airdrieonians in the Championship in Scotland back in July 2010. He debuted in the season 2010 - 2011, making 15 appearances and netting three goals in league games.
In January 2011, a significant shift marked his career trajectory – Tony Watt transferred from Airdrieonians to Celtic for around £100k. Over the course of three seasons (2011 - 2014), he scored seven goals in a total of 25 appearances for Celtic, before being upgraded to Lierse SK in Belgium's Derde Klasse on loan in August 2013.
Despite moving clubs and countries, Watt's prowess as a forward remained consistent. During the 2013 – 2014 season at Lierse SK, he scored eight goals in 17 appearances. His days at Celtic ended definitively in July 2014 when he transferred to Standard Liege in the Belgian Pro League for around £1.2m.
This case of itchy feet continued with a series of loans and transfers across clubs and countries, including Charlton Athletic, Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers in England, Hearts in Scotland, and Oud-Heverlee Leuven in Belgium. His performances were variable but remained generally consistent.
The second significant shift in Watt's career came in July 2018 when he signed for St Johnstone in the Scottish Championship, scoring two goals in 29 appearances throughout the 2018 - 2019 season.
In subsequent years, he had tenures with CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria, and Motherwell and Dundee United in Scotland, where he demonstrated a solid contribution, especially at Dundee United, where he scored 18 times in 70 appearances over three seasons.
Watt's most recent move in July 2025 took him back to the Scottish Championship, this time with Partick Thistle. At present, in the 2025 - 2026 season, he has so far put away five in his 25 appearances. In addition, he has shown his worth in the League Cup and Scottish Cup for Partick Thistle, scoring goals and helping his team progress.
Over his career to date, Tony Watt has established himself as a persistent, forward-thinking player, still kicking it in style even in his thirties, a credit to Partick Thistle and a figure to watch in the continuing Scottish Championship.
