Wales striker Phoebie Poole has joined Watford women as they prepare for life after being promoted to Women's Super League 2.
The 22-year-old makes the move to English football's second tier after they pipped her last club, Plymouth Argyle, to the FA Women's National League Southern Premier Division 2025-26 title.
Poole has progressed from Barry Town United to leading Welsh domestic side Cardiff City and then Oxford United.
Her Wales debut came as a substitute in the World Cup qualifier win over Albania in April.
Watford sealed promotion in the same month with a 3-1 win at south Wales side Gwalia United.
Watford - who have Wales legend Helen Ward as their head of women's football - have also signed Tianna Teisar following her exit from Bristol City.
The 20-year-old is uncapped, but has previously been called up by Rhian Wilkinson and spent last season on loan at Plymouth, playing alongside Poole.
