The six foot five giant signed a contract extension before the start of the season which will keep him at the club until 2021. Watkowiak moved to Wiesbaden in the summer of 2017 after joining from the FSV Mainz second team. He received his footballing education at FSV Frankfurt.
''I'm from the local area and I know the team, the club and the surroundings - which makes me all the more delighted to get the chance to play in the 2. Bundesliga here at SVWW,'' says Watkowiak.
