David Watson, born on 12 February 2005 (now aged 20) in Scotland, is a noteworthy figure in the contemporary football scene. Deftly carving out his niche as a midfielder, Watson is currently plying his trade for the Kilmarnock football club. Astoundingly, he's a player of average height, standing tall at 5ft 10in (1.78m) and weighing in at a sturdy 11st (70kg). As a discernible figure on the pitch, Watson is often seen marching out in numero 12 jersey for Kilmarnock.
Watson's professional career kicked off admirably during the 2022-2023 season at Kilmarnock, with the young Scot managing to secure ten first-team appearances. His sophomore season, 2023-2024, witnessed him making impressive strides; fulfilling his role as a central midfielder with great aplomb, he made his presence count in 36 distinct matches and managed to find the back of the net five times.

His involvement, however, is not confined solely to the Scottish Premiership. He has proved his mettle in different competitive landscapes:
In the League Cup, 2024-2025, Watson led Kilmarnock from the front - right from kick-off. He also filled his boots in the Scottish Cup of the same season albeit in a substitute's role. Moreover, he embarked on a European journey, infusing vitality into the Europa League Qualifiers, 2024-2025, by performing his duties as a top-flight Kilmarnock player and scoring a decisive goal. His presence was also felt in the Conference League Qualifiers of the same season, where he started once and came into play off the bench thrice.
