In a significant move for the upcoming season, Cambridge United have secured the signing of former Newcastle defender Kell Watts on a two-year contract. The 24-year-old centre-back, who made a single Premier League appearance for the Magpies in a 3-1 defeat by Liverpool in 2020, will look to make his mark with the U’s.
Last season, Watts spent time on loan in League One with Wigan Athletic, where he featured in 19 games, including a 2-1 home win over Cambridge United in September.

“It’s time for me to make the next step in my career, and from everything I’ve heard and learned about Cambridge United, I am convinced that this is the right place for me,” Watts stated.
The addition of Watts to the Cambridge United squad will be a welcome boost as they prepare for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers, Champions League, and FIFA World Cup campaigns. Fans will be eager to see the young defender in action and how he can contribute to the team’s success in the Premier League, EFL Cup, EFL Championship, EFL One, EFL Two, and FA Cup.
