Durham Women FC have signed England youth international forward Lucy Watson from Chelsea.
Capped by England at U-17 and U-19 levels to date, Watson helped Ipswich Town secure promotion to Barclays WSL2 last season during her latest loan spell.
The former Doncaster Rovers Belles player joined Chelsea in 2022 from Sheffield United and would also go out on loan to Charlton Athletic, Crystal Palace and Southampton.
