Scottish forward Tony Watt, born on 29th December 1993, currently plays for Partick Thistle. Having the jersey number 32, Watt stands at 5ft 11in (1.82m) and weighs 13st 12lb (88kg). His professional journey's tale is one of a unique diversity of clubs and the constant hardness of performances brought on by the demands of modern football. His market value is currently around £128k as concisely detailed by Transfermarkt.

In July 2010, Watt began his professional journey with Airdrieonians, scoring three goals in 15 league matches in his debut season. He transferred to Celtic in the Premiership in January 2011 for a fee of around £100k. His time at Celtic created a memorable piece of the club's history. In his official debut season (2011 - 2012), he made three first team appearances and scored twice. He followed that up with five goals in 20 appearances the next season. He briefly featured in the 2013 - 2014 season before going on loan to Belgium's Lierse SK.

At Lierse SK, Watt showcased his talent by scoring eight goals in 17 league appearances. Upon returning to Scotland, he was sold to Standard Liege for around £1.2m before beginning an English chapter in his football story. He transferred to Charlton Athletic, where he put in consistent performances between the 2014-2018 seasons, despite spending most of the 2015 - 2016 season on loan at Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers. His prolific performance continued in various leagues in Europe before joining St Johnstone in Scotland in July 2018.

After a short stint at CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria, he returned to Scottish football, joining Motherwell in February 2020. His performance significantly improved over the next few seasons, scoring a total of 14 goals in over 85 league appearances (2019 - 2025). He was briefly loaned out to Dundee United (January 2022) and subsequently St Mirren (January 2023) before returning to Motherwell for the 2024 - 2025 season, where he scored three goals in 35 matches.

He then transferred to Partick Thistle in the Championship in July 2025. Watt has so far scored five goals in 21 league games in the ongoing 2025-2026 season. Besides his league performances, he has also represented Partick Thistle in the League Cup 2025 - 2026, scoring one goal, and the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026, finding the net twice.
