Watt’s New!
Belper Town Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of 25-year-old central defender, Phil Watt, who has joined the Nailers from Evo-Stik League rivals, Coalville Town.
Watt (pictured) is an excellent and well respected central defender who will give the Nailers some added experience in the back line.
Watt admitted that he had found the travelling from his Barnsley home to Coalville quite burdensome since his move to the Leicestershire club in the summer. He had originally signed for the Ravens from Conference side, Boston United.
He started his career as a youth player at home town club Rotherham United. Watt then had a spell at Lincoln City and made a number of first team appearances at Sincil Bank before joining Corby Town in 2008 for a two-year stint
Whilst at Corby Town he joined Grantham Town, initially on loan and then on a permanent basis in 2011 where he was an influential member of the Gingerbreads team that won promotion to the Evo-Stik League Premier Division.
He moved on to Boston United in January 2013 where he was reunited with his former Corby manager, Graham Drury prior to exiting the club in the summer to join Coalville.
