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.
