Nigel Watts

Nigel Kevin Watts (21 October 1919 – February 17, 1995) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1940s.

Playing career
Watts was a schoolboy rugby union start from St. Josephs College, who went on to star for the Eastern Suburbs Rugby Union club before embarking on a brief rugby league career at St. George during World War II. As he had never played Rugby League before, the residential-rule did not apply to Watts, who was a resident of Bondi at the time. Watts was in the Australian Army during his time at the Saints, although after he was discharged from the Army, he moved to a captain/coach role in the Illawarra competition in 1946. He represented a combined South Coast Division representative team that defeated the touring Great Britain national rugby league team 15–12 at Wollongong, New South Wales on 2 June 1946.

Death
Watts died in Sydney on 17 February 1995
