Steve Craig Watson (born April 1, 1974 in North Shields) is an English footballer, currently playing for Sheffield Wednesday on loan from West Bromwich Albion as a defender.
Watson began his career with Newcastle United, playing on a regular basis. During his seven years at the club, he wore a jersey with every shirt number 2-11 at least once. He was transferred to Aston Villa in October 1998 to the surprise of Newcastle fans. At the time of his debut, he was the youngest person ever to play for Newcastle, a record he holds to this day.
He moved to Everton in the summer of 2000, and when boss Walter Smith found his squad decimated by injury, Watson found himself a regular striker alongside Tomasz Radzinski, a role he had started to play at the beginning of his career before transferring to the defence.
His time with Everton was blighted with injury, although he did enjoy some time in the first team for the 2003-2004 season. Watson was later signed by West Bromwich Albion prior to the 2005-2006 season.
On February 9, 2007, he joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan until the end of 2006-2007 season.
