David Watson

David Watson of Kilmarnock was born in Prestwick, Scotland on 12 February 2005 (age 21).

David Watson was born in Scotland on the twelfth of February 2005 which puts him at the young age of 21. Identifying as a central midfielder, he is currently providing his talents to Kilmarnock. He boasts a height of 5ft 10in (1.78m) and weighs in at 11st (70kg), making him an imposing figure in the midfield. He dons the number 12 jersey for his side.

Watson's career kicked off at a brisk pace. In the initial season of 2022 - 2023 with Kilmarnock, the young lad managed to break into the first team ten times marking a significant achievement for a debutant. In the following season of 2023 - 2024, his performances saw a notable improvement with him not only making 36 first team appearances but also scoring five goals. As a midfielder scoring goals, he began to receive attention as a viable offensive option. In the 2024 - 2025 season, he again made 35 first team appearances for Kilmarnock just shy of the previous season's tally, this time scoring four goals. As the current season of 2025 - 2026 unfolds, Watson has already completed 28 first team appearances, finding the back of the net three times.

Watson's talent was also on display in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Kilmarnock where he made a total of six appearances, four as a starter and two off the bench. He also turned out for Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 kick-starting the game. The young Scot certainly has an exciting career ahead.
