Bradford City run the risk of losing the youngster for nothing with his current contract up at the end of the campaign.

Championship side Blackpool were linked with a move for him in the last January transfer window, as reported by the Daily Record (live transfer blog, 02.01.21, 16.39).

The Bantams swooped to sign him in 2020 on a two-year deal and he has since been a key player for the League Two outfit.

He has made 94 appearances in all competitions since his switch and has chipped in with five goals and four assists to date.

The Preston-born man had spells in the academies at Liverpool, Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End before linking up with Wolves.

He rose up through the ranks at Molinuex and was a regular at various youth levels for the Midlands club. The Scotland youth international made his first and only first-team appearance in a League Cup clash against Sheffield Wednesday in August 2018.

He then had loan a loan spell away at Carlisle United to gain experience before Bradford City came calling on a permanent basis.

Watt has found a home at Valley Parade but Mark Hughes’ side are sweating over his future.
