Lucy Watson has returned to CHELSEA from a loan spell at Southampton and will now spend the remainder of the 2024/25 season with Ipswich Town in the FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division.
The Blues posted on the club website: ‘The 21-year-old forward spent the first half of the season with the Saints where she made two appearances in the League Cup.
‘She will now spend the rest of the campaign on loan with the Tractor Girls, who currently sit top of the third tier with 29 points after 11 games played.
‘In the summer of 2022, Watson joined the Blues from Sheffield United where she had racked up an impressive amount of experience since making her debut at only 16 years old.
‘After penning her first deal at Chelsea, the forward saw a loan with Charlton Athletic cut short due to sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury which kept her sidelined until the 2023/24 season, which she spent in the Championship with Crystal Palace.
‘On the international stage, Watson has featured for England across U-17s to U-19s level and represented the Young Lionesses at the 2022 UEFA Women’s Under-19 European Championship in the Czech Republic.
‘Everyone at CHELSEA would like to wish Lucy every success during her time at Ipswich and we look forward to watching her progress during the rest of the season.’

Watson needs to play on a regular basis and this loan move is a great one for the star to make as sitting on the bench for the Blues is simply not good enough.
Watson will surely get some much needed minutes for the remainder of the season
