Yes he is. He also came across as a very decent guy in his interview, which we all pretty much knew & it's great that he took the time to do this for his old club.
Some interesting insights into his struggles during the early days of his Academy time.

He seems to be quite hard on himself which is probably part of reason why he has gone on to keep improving. Sounds like a lesson learnt when he signed pro and thought he was a first team player straight away. Not often you hear such self awareness from a young man.

Paul Tisdale told WBA to buy Watkins when Darren Moore was loans manager checking on a WBA player at City according to Moore himself on Sky. He said they chose not to.

However Watkins was sold a month before Wilson/Edwards joined on loan so I’m confused!

He came to us a year after Ollie left.

Maybe he was checking out a player who WBA had loaned out to our opposition ?
