Assistant Manager
Watson has acted as assistant manager since January 2019, first taking up the role as part of Ben Clark’s coaching team, after spending a number of years as the club’s strength & conditioning coach.
He then continued in the role following the appointment of Mike Williamson as player-manager ahead of the 2019/20 season, helping the club reach the play-off semi final in a season curtailed by COVID-19.
Watson and player-manager Mike Williamson led Gateshead to their first league title since 1986 by lifting the 2021/22 Vanarama National League North title with one game to spare.
