Watson was an ever-present for Third Division champions Brighton & Hove Albion in 2000-01 for whom he mostly featured at right back.

He performed consistently throughout the campaign, creating many chances when moving up to join the attack and showing excellent distribution.

Watson joined Coventry City in September 2005 on non-contract terms.
