[edit] Career

[edit] Youth and Amateur

Instead of attending college and playing college soccer, Watson decided to pursue a career as a professional soccer player straight out of high school; he travelled to England, and was offered a place on the academy of famed English club Leicester City. As a member of the U18 Academy team, Watson was rostered in two reserve games while with the Foxes.

Watson returned to the United States in 2008, and subsequently spent some time playing for Los Angeles-based amateur team Hollywood United.

[edit] Professional

Watson signed his first professional contract with Minnesota in April 2009^[1], and made his professional debut on June 27, in 3-1 defeat to the Rochester Rhinos.^[2].

[edit] International

Watson has played for both of the U-18 and U-20 United States national teams.
