Jack Watts is set to depart Bishop’s Cleeve to take on a player-coach position at Cinderford Town, marking the end of his fourth tenure at Kayte Lane.
Watts played an instrumental role in Bishop’s Cleeve’s promotion to the Southern League during the 2021/22 season, boasting an impressive record of 37 goals from 42 appearances under manager Paul Collicutt.
Throughout his career, Watts has also featured for clubs including Cirencester Town, Stourport Swifts, Malvern Town, and Evesham United.
