Anyone know if he's got a club yet?

I know it's a long shot  but.....if, for instance, he decides to go into full time work!

[Timperley The Best]

Reading and Coventry have been linked with him .There will be plenty of league clubs interested.

[MarpleAlty]

I'm sure he'll still want to give full-time football a go, to be honest - even if he halves his wages he'll be on a decent living, and with a good few years left in him.

I still think somewhere like Salford would be good for him - he'll be great at that level.

Or Bolton if he comes back to the North West

Anyone know if he has lined up a club yet?

I was speaking with a board member of Motherwell today in work. He was saying how they get players from lower/non league clubs and often sell them on for a profit and I mentioned Duncan to him - suggested he look at Youtube clips of him and mention to his scouts.

I don't know if Duncan will stay in football, but if so, could do worse than Motherwell who do have a reputation for bringing on players - one of theirs - David Turnbull - has recently signed for Celtic for £3.25 mill.

I hope I am not out of order doing this as I would love to see Duncan gracing a top division again.

From The Times: 5th September 2020:

Mastering time

Duncan Watmore, the football-playing son of new ECB chairman Ian Watmore, has put his free time during lockdown to good use by completing a master’s degree.

Watmore, 26, is a free agent after being released by Sunderland in the summer. He wrote his master’s thesis on Common Goal, the charity launched with the backing of Manchester United’s Juan Mata, where supporters pledge 1 per cent of their salary to a global fund.

Thanks for that Cult. That just shows the quality of the chap; he really is the sort of bloke you root for as he seems never to stop trying and never takes anything for granted.

[Timperley The Best]

Maybe we should see if he fancies a short term contract ?hes not really a number 9 but could I'm sure play at this level there

[oneedham]

I agree, let's get Duncan  week by week contract whilst he looks for a club. He can get match fitness with us......
Better than him sat on his arse.

To be fair I’d hope he avoids Bolton at all costs.

[Hale Alty]

Probably end up at Fylde.

[Alty Bri]

I hope we're looking at George Newell at Southport as a possible replacement.

[RageAgainstTheFirstTeam]

Could be heading to A League side Central Coast Mariners. He could follow in the footsteps of Matty Crowell!

Would be brilliant for him under such a great manager: (from John Laidlar):

The Teesside Gazette Live reports that Middlesbrough boss "Neil Warnock is interested in signing Duncan Watmore after the former Sunderland forward impressed on trial at Boro.
