Thomas Watson (born 18 April 2006) is an English footballer who plays for Sunderland as a winger.[1]
On 18 April 2023 Watson made his professional debut for Sunderland, appearing as a substitute in the EFL Championship against Huddersfield Town.[2][3] Despite a back injury hampering his ability to feature at the start of the 2023–24 season, Watson signed a new three-year contract with Sunderland in September 2023.[4][5] This came amid reported interest in his services from Premier League side Nottingham Forest and Scottish Premiership side Glasgow Rangers.[6][7]
Watson is noted for his pace.[8]
Watson made his England U17 debut in January 2023. That same month he scored his first England U17 goal in a 6-0 win over Germany U17.[9][10]
Watson made his England U18 debut during a 1-1 draw with Belgium in Marbella on 11 October 2023.[11]
