"The resurgence comes after a disappointing season under Derek McInnes in which the midfielder lost his place in the team around the turn of the year and struggled to get back in. That was a surprise, given the campaign prior he won the PFA Scotland and Scottish Football Writers' Association young player of the year awards. "Davie's going to have a good career," McInnes once said. "There's no doubt about that."
"So far, he has only ever managed five goals per full season for Kilmarnock. He's only got five assists in his career. However, Watson's goals always seem to be spectacular. His 92nd-minute winner against Aberdeen. His looping half-volley against St Johnstone. His solo run, from his own half, against St Mirren. That was just in his first season. In the last campaign, he scored an overhead kick against Dundee United."
David Watson, 20, reclaimed a starting role under Stuart Kettlewell and has emerged as a central performer for Kilmarnock. He experienced a downturn under Derek McInnes, losing his place around midseason despite previously winning PFA Scotland and Scottish Football Writers' Association young player of the year awards. Watson contributes a mix of spectacular long-range and acrobatic goals and consistent all-action midfield play. Statistical rankings place him high for goal contributions, dribbles completed, tackles, duels won, shot blocks, winning possession in the final third, and fouls won. Limited contract time raises the prospect of increased transfer interest from suitors.
