Watson joins the Eagles on the back of a milestone 2024/25 campaign, in which she made her United debut away to Everton, an appearance that marked her return from an ACL injury suffered on international duty shortly after joining us in 2023.
The Scotland international went on to score her first goal for the Reds against Newcastle before continuing her progress at the top level by going out on loan to Everton for the second half of the campaign.
Having returned from that spell on Merseyside – which featured winning the Toffees’ Player of the Match award for a performance against Spurs – the 19-year-old has been back in pre-season with United and featured in the first two of our four friendlies this summer.
