He made his Wolves debut on 28 August 2018 in the EFL Cup against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough, starting in the 2–0 second round win.[4][5]

On 27 July 2020, Watt joined League Two side Bradford City on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[7] In November 2020 he was one of a number of young Bradford City players playing in the first team who were praised by manager Stuart McCall.[8]
