Watson: I’m buzzing to be back


But such is the strong mentality needed to bounce back from a long layoff so early in her career, Watson is keen to take any positives she can from the experience.

She said: “Yes, I didn’t play for 12 months, but I was getting better in other areas of my game that needed improving so I don’t see that as time lost, I see that time as full of growth that’s going to help me in my career, mentally as well.”

The hard yards have all undoubtedly been done by Watson herself, but she hasn’t been on this journey on her own. Watson credits those around her for making a tough year that little bit easier for herself and team-mates Gabby George and Jess Simpson, who both also suffered ACL injuries at a similar time.

“The support as well at United has been huge, I can’t fault anything,” the Scotland international said. “The physios have been great, Marc [Skinner]’s been great, the coaching staff… every single person has been there for us to lean on. I’m really grateful I’m at a club that offers that much support.

“I don’t think I could have got through the injury without everyone having my back.”
