Elliot Watt

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

Elliot Watt, born on 11th of March in the year 2000, and currently 26 years of age, was born on English soil. He has gravitated towards the position of a central defensive midfielder at Motherwell, a role which he excels in. Standing at the not insignificant height of 5ft 10in (1.8m) and weighing in at 11st 9lb (74kg), he is a formidable presence on the field. He adorns the number 20 jersey for his club.

As we delve into his fiscal aspect, his market value hovers around the region of €1.00m (£0.85m) according to Transfermarkt, which can be verified here.

Our journey through his illustrious career begins in July 2016, when Watt espoused the cause of Wolverhampton Wanderers in the esteemed Premier League of England as a trainee. A bracing chapter ensued in January 2020, when he decided to venture into an association with Carlisle United in the National League in England, albeit on loan.

However, this liaison was short-lived as Watt glided from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Bradford City in the League One of England in July 2020 for an unspecified amount. His tryst with Bradford City was rather ephemeral and Watt was soon seen sporting the colours of Salford City in the League Two of England, again for an undisclosed fee, in July 2022. In his inaugural season there, he was seen making 34 first team appearances in league matches.

The perennial saga continued and saw Watt moving to Burton Albion in League One in England in July 2024. But his tenure at Burton Albion was punctuated with a brief loan period to St Johnstone in the Championship in Scotland in January 2025. He had a decent showing with St Johnstone, aerating the nets twice and making eight first team appearances in league matches in the 2024 - 2025 season.

Watt's latest stop in his prestigious career has been with Motherwell in the Premiership in Scotland, a chapter that started in July 2025. With an impressive 28 first team appearances and five goals scored in the current season of 2025 - 2026, Watt has surely made his mark at Motherwell. He also had a significant role to play in their League Cup 2025 - 2026 campaign with six starts and one substitute appearance, alongside a Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 campaign marked by a one substitute appearance.
