[edit] Career
[edit] Fulham
Watts began his professional career at Fulham; however, he never went on to make a first team appearance for Fulham. Yet, in the Carling Cup match against Shrewsbury Town, he was an unused substitute. He made a league appearance during a loan spell with Milton Keynes Dons in Football League Two. On 10 September 2008, Watts signed a new contract with Fulham that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2010. In April 2009 he signed for League One side Northampton Town, on loan until the end of the season. He made a handful of appearances, but could not prevent Northampton being relegated, before he returned to Fulham. After starting the 2009/10 season in Fulham's first team squad, making the bench against CSKA Sofia and Manchester City, he departed the club.

On 2 October 2009 he agreed to join Lincoln City on an initial month's loan,[2] becoming newly installed managed Chris Sutton's first signing for the club.[3] He made his debut in the club's 1-0 home victory over Aldershot Town the following day[4] and, after helping his side to two clean sheets in his first two games, his loan was extended until 2 January 2010.[5] Having impressed during his loan period, on 31 December 2009 the club announced that Watts had agreed terms on a permanent contract with the Imps that will run until the summer of 2012, joining for an undisclosed fee;[6] the paperwork being completed on 5 January 2010.[7] On 20 February 2010 his season was ended when he suffered a fracture of his left fibula in the 2-2 draw at Grimsby Town,[8] the injury seeing him undergo surgery to pin the fracture.[9]
In May 2011, he was made available on a free transfer by the club, after a mass clear out of players following relegation from the Football League.[10] On 27 December 2011 he departed Sincil Bank by mutual consent.[11]
