Oliver George Arthur Watkins (born 30 December 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Aston Villa. Watkins is a product of the Exeter City academy and made his breakthrough at the club, winning the EFL Young Player of the Year award, before departing in 2017 for Brentford. He had a successful three-year spell at the club, culminating in being the joint top-scorer in the 2019-20 EFL Championship and being named EFL Championship Player of the Year in 2020. He signed for Aston Villa in September 2020. Watkins grew up in Newton Abbot supporting Torquay United as a child and attended South Dartmoor Community College. Watkins won his maiden first team call up when he was named as a substitute for the final League Two match of the 2013–14 season versus Hartlepool United and he made his senior debut when he replaced Aaron Dawson after 77 minutes of the 2–0 victory. Watkins was frequently named as a substitute by Paul Tisdale during the first three months of the 2014–15 season, but despite scoring his first senior goal (a late consolation in a 3–1 Football League Trophy second round defeat to Coventry City on 7 October 2014), he made just three appearances before departing on loan to Weston-super-Mare for the remainder of the campaign in December 2014. On 8 December 2014, Watkins and Exeter City teammate Matt Jay joined Conference South club Weston-super-Mare on one-month loan deals. He had an eventful season, making 52 appearances, scoring six goals and contributing 13 assists, though the campaign ended on a sour note with the Grecians' 2–1 defeat to Blackpool in the 2017 League Two play-off Final at Wembley Stadium. Watkins left Exeter City on 18 July 2017, having made 78 appearances and scored 26 goals during three seasons as a professional at St James Park. On 18 July 2017, Watkins joined Championship club Brentford on a four-year contract, with an option for a further year, for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £1.8 million. He scored his first competitive goal for the club in their 3–1 EFL Cup first round extra time victory over AFC Wimbledon on 8 August 2017. It was Liverpool's heaviest defeat in 57 years and was the first time in Premier League history that a reigning champion had conceded 7 goals in a single match. Watkins has described himself as "a number 10" and named Thierry Henry as his sporting idol, stating in 2017 that "I try to base my game on his, by driving at defenders and looking to make something happen when I get the ball".
