An experienced forward with international recognition, Stephen Robinson moved to bring in Dundee Utd’s top scorer at the end of the 2023 January transfer window after his decision to loan Eamonn Brophy to Ross County and Jonah Ayunga unfortunately suffering a long-term injury.
Having played his football in England, Bulgaria, and Belgium as well as his homeland, Watt added a real know how and a streetwise approach to the attacking options as Saints attempted to break into the top 6 for the first time since the split was introduced in 2001, and the man of many clubs helped to do so with some good displays including a fine goal against Livingston on April 1st, his only for the club.
With a top 6 place secured after the final match of the regular season against Kilmarnock later in April, Watt unfortunately picked up a leg injury ruling him out for the rest of the season and all 5 matches in the top 6 as his brief time at St Mirren came to a premature end.
