Watford bank on free signing Tianna Teisar to boost WSL2 attack

Watford have secured Welsh international forward Tianna Teisar on a permanent free transfer from Bristol City, adding the 20‑year‑old to their squad after a busy summer. The move brings a forward with senior experience and national caps to the club ahead of the Barclays WSL2 campaign.

Watford hope her goal‑scoring will help close the gap in their attacking options for the Barclays WSL2 campaign. The addition is seen as a way to bolster firepower after a busy transfer window.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the signing via an official club press release from The Golden Girls this afternoon, confirming the permanent nature of the deal. The announcement confirmed that the transfer is permanent rather than a loan.

Teisar came through Bristol City’s academy, known as The Robins, and pushed for first‑team opportunities, laying the foundation for her senior career. Her development at the academy laid the groundwork for her progression to senior football.

She gained senior minutes on loan at Gwalia United and Plymouth Argyle, where she netted eight goals in 19 appearances in the FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division, showcasing her finishing ability. Those spells provided regular minutes at senior level.

At senior level, Teisar has been capped by Wales on a couple of occasions, underscoring her experience at the highest international level. These appearances demonstrate her readiness for top‑flight competition.

Having faced Plymouth Argyle last season, Watford are familiar with her goal‑scoring qualities, adding confidence to the signing. The club expects her to find the net regularly in WSL2 and notes she is their eighth summer acquisition as they reshape the squad.
