Scotland born striker, Tony Watt, currently dons the number 32 shirt for Partick Thistle. Born on the 29th of December 1993, the 32-year-old stands at a height of 5ft 11in (1.82m) and scales 13st 12lb (88kg). His market value is valued at a modest £136k according to Transfermarkt.

In 2010, Watt kick-started his professional career at Airdrieonians in the Championship in Scotland where he made 15 appearances and netted three times. His performances caught the attention of Scotland's Premiership giants, Celtic, who acquired his services for around £100k.

Watt had a terrific spell at Celtic from 2011 to 2013, where he made a combined 23 appearances and scored a total of seven goals in the Premiership. During the 2013 - 2014 season, Watt played two matches before being loaned out to Belgium's Lierse Sk in the Derde Klasse. His season at Lierse was fruitful, having contributed eight goals in 17 appearances.

In 2014, he left Celtic on a permanent deal to join Standard Liege in Belgium for a reported sum of £1.2 million and went on to score twice in 13 outings. In 2015, Watt transferred to Charlton Athletic in England where he played consistently, making numerous appearances and contributing goals regularly before entering into several loan stints.

Watt had brief stints at Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers in England, followed by a loan spell at Hearts in Scotland. After finishing his term at Hearts, he permanently transferred to Belgium's Oud-Heverlee Leuven in 2017 before returning to Scotland with St Johnstone a year later.

After a spell in Bulgaria's CSKA Sofia, Watt returned to Scottish Premiership football, joining Motherwell in 2020 where he enjoyed some consistency. He made several appearances and contributed goals for the side from 2019 - 2025. His standout season was 2021 - 2022 where he scored nine times in 19 appearances.

Watt moved on to Dundee United in Scotland for the sum of £100k in January 2022. He featured regularly for Dundee United, even having a loan spell with St Mirren in-between. During his tenure, the 2023 - 2024 season proved to be his most productive, with 13 goals in 36 appearances.

A subsequent return to Motherwell on loan, and later a permanent move to Partick Thistle in 2025, sees him now leading the lines in the Championship in Scotland. In the current 2025 - 2026 season, Watt has delivered five goals in 26 appearances. In addition to his league performances, Watt has proved impactful in the cup competitions - scoring a goal in the League Cup and three in the Scottish Cup for Partick Thistle.
