Aged 26, he stands at an elevation of 5 feet 10 inches (or roughly 1.8 metres) and carries a weight of 11 stone 9 pounds (approximately 74 kilogrammes).

Watt commenced his professional journey in the realm of football back in July 2016 as he signed up with Wolverhampton Wanderers, a team plying their trade in the Premier League of England.

In a turn of events, Wolverhampton decided to loan Watt to Carlisle United, a team partaking in the National League of England, in January 2020.

Following this loan spell, Wolverhampton decided to sell Watt to Bradford City, a team in England's League One. The price for this transfer was kept under wraps.

Watt once again changed clubs in July 2022, transferring to Salford City, a team playing in England's League Two. His introductory 2022 - 2023 season at Salford saw him rack up 34 first team appearances in league matches.

Watt's journey didn't end here as he went on to transfer from Salford City to Burton Albion, a League One team in England.

In January 2025, he made his way to Scotland, joining Championship side St Johnstone on loan. During his stint at St Johnstone, Watt made eight first-team appearances, and managed to find the net twice in league games.

Just a few months later in July 2025, Watt decided to shift his services from Burton Albion to Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership. Currently, in his ongoing 2025 - 2026 season with Motherwell, he has participated in 26 first-team league matches and has scored four goals.he also took part in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Motherwell, with six starts and one super-sub appearance, and the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026, featuring once as a substitute.
