Helen Ward has been appointed General Manager of Watford Women following her retirement from playing.

Ward, 37, began her playing career with the Hornets and made her senior debut for the club back in 2001.

The striker is Wales' all-time leading goalscorer, and returned to the Hornets to finish her playing career.

"As soon as the opportunity presented itself I thought, 'What better way than the General Manager job to stay involved?'" said Ward.

"It's been interesting so far. It's a very different perspective to playing but everyone knows how much I care about the team and the club, and the success that I'd like for the women's team.
