Nick Watson

After being selected with Pick 5 in the 2023 National Draft, Nick Watson continued to flourish in 2025 - and will now don a famous club number in 2026. Backing up his 25 goals from 18 games in 2024, the 20-year-old booted 36 majors from 25 matches in 2025. Also known as ‘The Wizard’, he is a much-loved figure among the Hawks faithful and shows huge potential for his brown and gold future.

Honours

Hawthorn's Most Promising Player (2024), NAB Rising Star Nominee (2024)
