Ben Watson (born 9 July 1985) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for League One club Charlton Athletic. He has previously played for Wigan Athletic, Crystal Palace Watford, and Nottingham Forest and had loan spells at Queens Park Rangers and West Bromwich Albion.

Club Career

Crystal Palace

Born in Camberwell, London, Watson made his debut aged 17 towards the end of the 2002–03 season against Watford, giving a good performance to keep his place in the side for the final four games of the season. He scored his first goal for the club at the start of the following season in a 1–1 draw against Millwall, and gradually featured in the Palace side more regularly over the next few seasons, surpassing 200 appearances for the Eagles before his 23rd birthday.
