Rocco Vata

Rocco Vata of Watford was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 18 April 2005 (age 19)

Rocco Vata, born on 18 April 2005 in Scotland, plies his trade as a forward primarily in the right winger's role for Watford. The 19-year-old Scot stands about 5ft 8in (1.75m) tall and maintains a lean physique with a weight of 10st 5lb (66kg). The promising youngster sports the number 11 jersey for Watford.

According to the financial metrics provided by Transfermarkt, he currently holds a market value of around £44k. His current contract with Watford, which started recently, will run for 3 years and 9 months more, expiring on 30 June 2028.

In July 2012, Rocco Vata joined Celtic as a trainee, paying his dues in the Scottish Premiership. During his debut season (2022 - 2023), he got his first taste of the top-tier football, making four appearances for the Hoops. The following season (2023 - 2024) was comparatively quiet, with a single first team appearance to his name. However, his tenure with Celtic served as a critical learning period, allowing the fledgling right winger to unfurl his wings.

Vata's journey then led him from his Celtic days in Scotland to England in July 2024, when he transferred to Watford in the Championship for a fee of around £210k. At Watford, despite it being still early days in the 2024 - 2025 season, Vata has managed to grace the pitch on three occasions in league matches.

Showing promise, Vata has also made his mark in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for Watford. Here he stepped into the limelight once as part of the starting eleven and twice as a substitute, hopefully indicating many more appearances to come.
