Julian Watts (born 17 March 1971 in Sheffield) is an English professional footballer, best known as a player for Luton Town and Australian side Northern Spirit who, after a spell of 2 and half years, was the manager of Hallam. He resigned from his post in May 2013 before taking up the position as manager at Shirebrook Town later that month.
Playing career
Watts started out with Rotherham United as an apprentice, but after only two years in the first team he moved on to Sheffield Wednesday. He left Sheffield Wednesday four years later, after only 18 league appearances, to play for Leicester City, but this move didn't work out either — Watts wore the colours of five more teams before he arrived at Luton Town on loan in 1999. Luton clearly suited Watts, as he became a first team regular, and made 67 league appearances in two seasons. At the end of 2000–01, he decided to join Australian club Northern Spirit, where he played until 2004, when the club folded. Now retired from the game, he returned to England to set up a business in Worksop.[1] In September 2010 he was appointed assistant manager of Maltby Main[2] and in January 2011 manager of Hallam.[3]
