Career Highlights | |
Fergus Watts (born September 21, 1985) is an Australian rules football player with the AFL's St Kilda Football Club.
Watts spent his first two AFL seasons with Adelaide after being selected by the Crows in the first round of the 2003 AFL National Draft, but saw limited playing opportunities as he only played 5 games (all in 2004, none in 2005). Watts is a promising forward line player, and in a 2005 SANFL Semi-final, he booted 10 goals for Woodville-West Torrens against North Adelaide.
He requested for trade at the end of the 2005 season, and a deal was then made in which Watts was sent to St Kilda in return for a first round National Draft selection. Fergus' father Jim Watts is the CEO of the St Kilda Football Club.
Although his 2006 season has been put on hold as he recovers from a fractured leg, once back in the side his size and versitlity will provide a great marking option in the Saints' already strong forward line.
