Career
Watzka began his career in the youth department of his home town club VfB Leipzig. He also played in a match in the DFB-Pokal in 2005. Foreign the 2007-2008 season, Watzka signed a professional contract with then-2nd Bundesliga side Kickers Offenbach.
However, he only played in 13 matches, mostly as a substitute, and only was on the pitch for an average 20 minutes.
He did not score any goals. Here he also played in one DFB-Pokal match.
After his rather disappointing spell at Offenbach Watzka moved to Regionalliga Nord side 1. Football Club Magdeburg where he quickly established himself as a first team regular.
He played in all but one match and spent an average of 81 minutes on the pitch.
